UPDATE: The Strokes have given us some more details about the album, and the first single, and you can pre-order it on vinyl and CD in the BV shop.
The Strokes have announced their first new album in six years. It’s titled Reality Awaits and it’ll be out this summer. That’s all we have to go on so far, as the band just shared a teaser video that looks like a magazine ad from 1981 come to life with just a bit of music that may or may not be from the new record. You can watch that below.
Meanwhile, The Strokes played San Francisco’s The Warfield on Saturday, but there were no new songs in the setlist (which you can see below). That may change tonight, when they play SF’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. They then play Coachella on Saturday, and will also make festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Just Like Heaven, Shaky Knees and more before playing Asbury Park’s Sea.Hear.Now fest on September 20. All dates are listed below.
