If we’re judging by this preview (and I am), The Strokes frontman has been listening to a whole lotta Goblin and Ratatat has he not?
The album is called Phrazes for the Young. More info here.

That wouldn’t be the worst news ever. As for the matter at hand, the song is not too bad – heard better, heard worse attempts too
Insightful comment Leigh.
I do my best

Woah holy Vangelis! I like the visuals in this promo more than I like the music…although it is only a snippet. It makes me wonder if it is a multimedia project; will there be a movie to go with the album?
