A new Strokes album draws near. The band has shared a retro teaser video featuring a 1980s Nissan 300ZX and the tagline “In the Flesh, it’s Even Sexier,” which confirms that their seventh studio album is called Reality Awaits and will be out “this summer.” Watch the clip below.
Reality Awaits will mark the first Strokes LP since 2020’s The New Abnormal. That record earned Julian Casablancas & co. their first Grammy. In 2024, Casablancas’ band the Voidz released the album Like All Before You. The Strokes are performing at Coachella this weekend. They’re also headlining Bonnaroo and Outside Lands in the summer.
