Julian Casablancas, lead singer for The Strokes, has just announced a forthcoming debut solo album, entitled
Phrazes for the Young, that should be out sometime this fall. Along with the announcement came a promo video that you can watch
HERE. The music for the video is seemingly the opposite from what I'd expect out of the voice that usually wails and groans in front of the typical guitar-heavy Strokes sound that we're used to. It's synthy and electronic, however simultaneously tasteful and enticing.
The video has a couple interesting quotes that appear relevant to things recently written about here: "try not to give advice you can't follow" and "DRUNKENESS is cowardice. SOBRIETY is loneliness" - cynical yet provoking words. Moreover, the images seem to be following a steady theme by comparing the systematic elements of modern human life with a greater nature.
As for news on the Strokes highly anticipated 4th album, we're still in the dark. Hopefully
someday soon.
