'Phrazes for the Young' is the title for Julian Casablancas' debut album expected to be released late September.
Cult Records (Julian's label) confirmed that the album will be an 8-song album, recorded in Nebraska, LA and, of course, New York. Tentative song titles included songs that no doubt cull the New York City street culture include 'River of Brake Lights', 'Glass', 'Ludow St', '11th Dimension' and 'Out Of The Blue.'
Whilst on hiatus, The Strokes men have delved into their own personal time to produce solo albums and critically acclaimed new acts. Albert Hammond Jr. released a well-received solo album, Nikolai Fraiture has been hard at work with band Nickel Eye and Fabrizio Moretti has his side-project Little Joy.
According to an interview found on his personal website, Julian says that he is trying to blend styles from throughout history. "I'm trying to capture the catchiness of modern music but at the same time the power and seriousness of classical music and older music. In general, the goal is to inspire. I guess that's what art is supposed to do."
Casablancas goes on to list his favourite bands of the moment as Beirut, Telepathe, Dirty Projectors and Beach House. As for a new Strokes' album, well apparently the band have been seeing each other every now and then and that we hopefully can expect something in 2010. That would make it only four very long years since their last album 'First Impressions of Earth.'
