New Album The Strokes

The Strokes singer Julian Casablancas has revealed that the band have completed their new album. It's been a long time coming. The Strokes released 'First Impressions Of Earth' back in 2005, setting of around the world on a massive tour. Tiring of the pressures caused by the road, the band decided to take a short break.

Finished on Monday (November 15th) the new material is the band's first in some five years. The band played a series of festival shows this summer, including a climactic slot at Scotland's RockNess. Producer Joe Chiccarelli helmed sessions, having previously worked with U2, Beck and Icelandic singer Bjork. The Strokes are set to release their new album in 2011.
