Julian Casablancas: 'The Strokes New Album Is Half Done'

October 12, 2009
Julian Casablancas: 'The Strokes New Album Is Half Done'Julian Casablancas has said that the next Strokes album is more than half-written.

The Strokes front man told XFM: “We worked on it for months, we have most of the songs written, more than half of them written.

"But it's just a question of getting all five dudes in the room. I'm ready to do it. We're supposed to have done it already but it got pushed back.”

He added: “I have my own personal wish that it would sound like Thin Lizzy, but if they could peer into the future and kind of have '80s melodies. Like a super-tight late '70s rock band but with A-Ha moments, if that makes sense.”

Casablancas also hinted at the rumoured discontent in the Strokes camp.

“The Strokes is a tough musical jury, so if something is going to survive it's got to pretty much please five incredibly picky dudes," he said.

"That's the great thing about the band but on the other hand sometimes it can be stifling for certain parts.”

“You might have a vision for a part but you can't express what you want to look like in its final state.

"And it's hard to even get to the final state because before it works, people are like, 'I don't like it', so it's hard to work an idea through when people are fighting you.”

The Strokes last album, 'First Impressions Of Earth', was released in 2006.
