The Strokes reveal scrapped new album sessions

Plus Albert Hammond Jr says new album will have 10 songs

The Strokes‘ guitarist Albert Hammond Jr has revealed that the band have produced their new album themselves after scrapping early recording sessions.

He said that the follow-up to 2006’s ‘First Impressions Of Earth’ will feature 10 songs, adding that he is “beyond thrilled” with the record, which they ended up making in his own studio.

Before the new sessions the band scrapped tracks recorded at the start of the year, reports Rolling Stone. These initial sessions saw them decamp to New York’s Avatar Studios in February with producer Joe Chiccarelli. They later decided to helm the record themselves with help from engineer Gus Osberg.
