Julian Casablancas' Solo Turn?
Huge fan of the strokes, and even though they won't be releasing new material this year, I'm still VERY excited at the prospect of a Julian Casablancas album.
YouTube - JULIAN CASABLANCAS - PHRAZES FOR THE YOUNG (PREVIEW) hopefully it won't be as self-loathing as First Empressions Of Earth, which was, by all accounts, a Casablancas solo album anyway. |

The Strokes' Julian Casablancas posts first solo song online Listen to '11th Dimension' now The Strokes' Julian Casablancas has posted a new solo song, '11th Dimension', on his official MySpace page, Myspace.com/juliancasablancas. The track will be released as a single on November 2 following the release of the frontman's debut solo album, 'Phrazes For The Young', released on October 19. Speaking to NME.COM previously about his songwriting process, Casablancas said: "I write stuff on a generic keyboard that has an organ or electric piano sound. Or on a guitar, but then, as I was building the song, if I thought it should be more like a whistling sound, with a keyboard and a laptop, it's easy to make that particular melody anything you want. "I wasn't really acquiring any old, cool gear [to make the album], it was working with friends and engineers who had programs that could find any sound your heart desired!" Julain Casblancas has said that he plans to play UK live dates soon – The Strokes man made his solo live debut in Tokyo last month. |

Got the album. Very good. Reminiscent of First Impressions of Earth, except less scattered (as you'd expect with it only being 8 songs long). A tight, cohesive little gem that has exceeded my expectations.
