Stream The Strokes New Album Comedown Machine

You can get an early listen to the full Strokes album here from our friends at pitchfork and see what you think of the new album. It definitely sounds more like Julian Casablanca’s solo album than it does older strokes stuff but there are some good tracks on here as well. Let me know what you think of the new album.

New Albums From Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, and She and Him

So She and Him, The Strokes, and Vampire Weekend all have new albums coming out in the next few months. Rejoice! She and Him’s new album is called Volume 3 which is in keeping with their past volume themed albums. The Strokes come back with Comedown Machine and we’ll see if it results in as much debate as their last album did. Finally, Vampire Weekend is back with their third album called Modern Vampires of the City. If their last two albums are any indication the only way this would not be good is if they decided to go the heavy metal route.

The Strokes One Way Trigger

 

The Strokes are apparently getting ready to release a new album and to show it they have put out a new single called “One Way Trigger”. the song sounds more like Julian Casablanca’s solo album stuff than it does like some of the older Strokes material. It will be interesting to see if this will be the whole style of the entire new album or not. Check out the song below and see what you think. The Strokes One Way Trigger

The Black Keys Take On Buddy Holly

The Black Keys have decided to cover the Buddy Holly song "Dearest". The band puts a very laid back vibe to the song which was a ballad and I think does a very good interpretation of the song. The Black Keys open up the album Rave On Buddy Holly which is a tribute album to the late singer. The album is out June 28th and other artists who contribute are Modes Mouse, My Morning Jacket, Florence and the Machines,  Fiona Apple, Ce-Lo, She and Him, and Julian Casablanca from The Strokes. It seems like they got a lot of great artists to contribute to this album and I'm sure it will be great when it comes out.
