New York rockers The Strokes are back with their new single 'Undercover of Darkness'. When I heard the news I was beaming with anticipation. What would their new release sound like? Would they venture in to unfamiliar territory? Could it be better then their previous singles? All these questions were answered in the opening seconds. This is the same Strokes we know and love. The boys have come back with a hip and rocking new single to get our mouths wet for their new album 'Angles' on the 18th of March 2011.
'Undercover of Darkness' takes us back to the sounds of their debut album 'Is This It'. Its catchy, simple and fun. Nick and Albert show us they still know how to party with their signature hooks and head bopping melodies. Julians still the king of modern day crooning with his smooth and unique vocals. There is a ripping solo that leads in to a atmospheric breakdown that gives you goose bumps. This tune is upbeat and funky, just the way we want to The Strokes to be. They prove that after 6 years between albums and side projects along the way they still have it. If 'Undercover of Darkness' is anything to go by, and i think it is, 'Angles' will be an absolute killer.
