The Young Phrazes
The Strokes vocalist Julian Casablancas had finished his work with the solo album, said ClashMusic. This new work had received the name “Phrazes For The Young”, and will be the first solo project created by this artist. It should be released as planned on October 19, 2009. It’s already known that the track list will include eight songs personally written by Casablancas and nobody else, so this new thing belongs exclusively to him. Frontman of the American garage-rock band was working with the solo album in various studios, which located in New York, Nebraska and Los Angeles. Musician had told the press that in the nearest future his new creation will be available on his official website, and that he may support the album with some short tour in around the UK soon after it’s release. Casablancas is not the first guy from The Strokes who began to record on his own. The band’s rhythm guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. had released two albums: “Yours To Keep” in 2006 and “Como Te Llama?” in 2008. Bassist Nikolai Fraiture had organised his own side project called Nickel Eye and during the winter of 2009 had released “The Time Of The Assassins”. In other words, this band is full of talents and they just can’t stay away from making new and cool stuff.
