The Strokes: ‘We’ve started writing our fourth album’

Julian Casablancas has got cracking on new songs

The Strokes‘ frontman Julian Casablancas and guitarist Nick Valensi have started writing new material for their band’s forthcoming new album, which they are set to start work on next month.

Drummer Fabrizio Moretti, speaking after a gig with his side-project Little Joy, told BBC 6music that although the band members had not finalised plans for their fourth LP’s recording, the songwriting process had begun.

Julian has started writing and Nick has got some material as well,” he said. “We’re the kind of band that it’s not finished until everyone’s in one room and everyone’s got their parts perfectly. We’re a very mechanical band.”

NME.COM had previously revealed that the band would reconvene in February for album sessions. “I don’t think it’s a reunion,” Moretti said, “we’re constantly in each other’s lives.”

The band’s last album was ‘First Impressions Of Earth’, released in January 2006.
