I wasn't really excited for this one, I admit. I've always liked The Strokes and I think they are a mighty solid band, but for some reason, they never have really excited me.
Julian Casablancas has a new album coming out, and its very good in a lot of ways, and maybe even a little exciting. First of all, it's pop-catchy, but like the Strokes, has that underlying melancholy to it which keeps it from become the latest cheese-whiz of the week. Secondly, it's kinda modern sounding, with nicely textured synths and electronic drums subtly buffering the structures of the song ably.
Here's one of the catchier tracks. If you like it, I would highly recommend getting the album, because there's more where that came from:
