The Strokes to release new album March 21

American rock band will release fourth studio album Angles this spring.

 

American rock band The Strokes have finally released the name of their new album and its first single, reports Clash.

Five years in the making, the band finally finished its fourth studio album, Angles, which is set to be released in the U.K. on March 21.

Albert Hammond Jr, the band’s rhythm guitarist, explained the unusual title in an interview with Rolling Stone: "It’s what the record sounds like. It comes from five different people." 

Also during the interview, the band revealed that the new album’s lead single will be called Under Cover of Darkness, and is due out prior to the album.

Other tracks appearing on the new album include Taken for A FoolMachu PicchuRadio Minor Madness and Life Is Simple.

The Strokes have been working on the album since 2009. After firing their previous producer, the band decided to oversee the recording and production themselves.

This will be the band’s first new album since they released First Impressions of Earth in 2006, and the group hopes to reduce time between future recordings.
