Meet Me in the Bathroom

The Strokes plan to record their new album this September, in between summer tour dates with Weezer and the White Stripes (which you've heard about), and a headlining tour in the fall. New songs for the album-in-progress include, "The Way It Is," "Meet Me in the Bathroom" and "I Can't Win." "We have some [new] songs that are easy to get, that are really cool," says Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. "And there's some songs you have to hear a couple times to understand what's going on, but once you do the joy lasts so much longer. Like "Last Nite" [the band's "breakout single" from their 2001 debut, Is This It?] is easy to swallow but it goes away so much faster. A song like [the same album's] "Hard to Explain" is a little less easy to swallow, but a month later you're still totally into it." To read more about The Strokes' new album, click here.
