The Strokes

The Strokes' new record is finally done, after nearly two years of work that included scrapping one set of sessions done with a producer, then remaking virtually the whole album on their own. Tentatively called "Angles," the New York band's first album since 2006 will be released by RCA on March 22nd. "It's what the record sounds like," guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. says of the title. "It comes from five different people."
