OK, so it isn’t, it’s the song that they released for free (for forty-eight hours!!) last month – ‘Under Cover Of Darkness.’

And when I say ‘Last Nite’ part 2, it’s because it feels not that they’re repeating themselves, but have rediscovered why they were so great in the first place. The Strokes’ Angles will be out in just three weeks time, and whilst I still live in hope that someone lovely at Rough Trade will send me a promo, I’m really impres

sed with what I’m hearing so far.

…and that’s particularly considerin

g I wasn’t blown away by their last album or some

of the solo projects since then. Sure, the album ma

y have had a painful birth, but I’m actually upbeat about this record.

The video for ‘Under Cover Of Darkness’ is kinda Kubrickesque (minus any corridors of blood or scary twin girls, that I can see any way):

Meanwhile, they’re also previewing another track from Angles entitled ‘You’re So Right.’

What do you think?
