It's been a long time coming, but The Strokes have finally done it. The NYC playboys have dropped their latest single, "Under Cover of Darkness," from their upcoming album, Angles, which is one of, if not the most anticipated album of the year. From scrapped studio sessions to rehab and everything in between, The Strokes have once again re-emerged from their various corners to come together and dedicate time to something that has the potential to be great. Many critics are saying that Angles is venturing back to the old Strokes sound of early albums like Is This It? and Room on Fire. "Under Cover of Darkness" satisfies these criticisms well, with, yes you guessed it--angular, geometric guitar work, steady bass lines, and shared vocal work by guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. It makes you want to get drunk, buy a bunch of 40s, chain smoke, and crash that loft party everyone was talking about on the Upper East Side...and then do it all again tomorrow.
