A 'Stroke' of Luck..

Hi!

After five years of abscence, The Strokes are back. Their past five years have been spent meeting women, paying mortgages, and having external music and arts projects. Finally, the wait is over.
I was expecting this album to be a complete and total piece of crap, but it isn't! The Strokes are my favourite band in the whole world, but it is only inevitable for bands that have been around for a long time, to eventually screw up by making a terrible comeback album.

'Angles' is the title of this new project, which might as well be a sequel of their previous work. The sound of guitars mixed with Julian Casablanca's deep voice makes it all sound familiar. I am sure these new songs will be heard around music festivals this summer, so festival goers will be massively pleased.
The first single of the album is titled 'Under Cover of Darkness', and as it is usually done in Strokes style, the lyrics are short but sweet, talking about life yet bringing a lot of power to the song by using their unique guitars.
The video is pretty cool, the band are playing in what looks like an old theatre or mansion. What impresses me the most, is their ability to stick to the same fashion sense as they had five years ago, but evolving it. Yes, some of them cut their hair, but we can see the indie rockers they still have inside with key pieces such as sunglasses, jackets with studs and pairing up suits with converse shoes or chelsea boots. It is brilliant.

Look at the video, i'll let you be the judge. xx
