People will inevitably compare this new Julian Casablancas song and the album it comes from to The Strokes, and they should because it sounds exactly like The Strokes. If you think that’s a good thing, you’re going to have a good next year because you’ll have Julian’s Phrazes for the Young, and several months from now a new Strokes album, just as soon as Albert Hammond gets back on track and back in the studio. If you think it’s a bad thing that we’re going to have essentially two Strokes albums this year, we probably shouldn’t hang out.

Stream: Julian Casablancas, “11th Dimension”
