OK enough focusing on the album cover and back to the music. The Strokes’ long-awaited fourth album Angles will see the light of day on March 21st in the UK through Rough Trade and the following day it will be unleashed upon the USA thanks to RCA.
If you missed the first song from the album, “Under Cover of Darkness,” then you can still grab it from The Strokes’ website for the next few hours. Or just listen and download it below.
