The Strokes Tease New Album The New Abnormal [Updated]
The post The Strokes Tease New Album The New Abnormal [Updated] appeared first on Consequence of Sound.
Is this it? The Strokes appear set to release a new album called The New Abnormal.
On Friday, the band posted a video hyping the impending release, complete with artwork created by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. “You think you’ve been waiting. But the wait has just begun…,” wrote guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. as a caption for the video. “Welcome to 𝐭 𝐡 𝐞 𝐧 𝐞 𝐰 𝐚 𝐛 𝐧 𝐨 𝐫 𝐦 𝐚 𝐥.”
Update: While performing at a Bernie Sanders campaign rally, The Strokes confirmed an April 10th release date for The New Abnormal. Get more details on the new nine-track album here.
During The Strokes’ 2020 New Year’s Eve show in Brooklyn, frontman Julian Casablancas teased the impending release of the band’s new album. “Yeah, we’ve got a new album coming out soon! 2020, here we come,” Casablancas told the crowd. “The 2010s, whatever the fuck they’re called, we took ‘em off. And now we’ve been unfrozen and we’re back!”
If The New Abnormal is in fact the name of The Strokes’ new album it would serve as the long-awaited follow-up to 2013’s Comedown Machine. In 2016, they released the Future Present Past EP.
In the lead-up to their new album’s release, The Strokes have packed their upcoming tour schedule with a number of festival appearances. They’re also set to appear at a rally on behalf of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire this coming Monday. Get tickets to their upcoming shows here.
