'Como Te Llama' is expected in the summer

The Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. has completed his second album.

Entitled 'Como Te Llama', the record will feature 13 tracks and is expected to be released in June.

Posting on his MySpace blog, The Strokes guitarist also hinted at future tour plans, although no official dates have been released yet.

He added: "We hope to tour all year and come to each and everyone's town.

"There are a lot of cool things I want to show you but I have to do it slowly and this letter is just the beginning."

The guitarist has also produced a track for New York band The Postelles, reports The Modern Age (winner of the Shockwaves NME Awards Blog Of The Year).

The song, '123 Stop', is available to hear at The Modern Age now.

Good news, his first album was terrific. This seems to imply yet further procrastination by The Strokes, though...

Fantastic news. The first album truly was a gem, far better than anything by The Strokes as a whole.

Not sure about that, Is This It is one of the best albums of our generation...

This is great news!!! If the second album is anything like the first, who knows if they'll ever be a 4th Strokes album.
