Julian Casablancas recently revealed that The Strokes would be creating a new album very soon but it may be their last as a group.
In a report by Rolling Stone, Casablancas revealed how plans aren't really looking good for the future of the band, claiming how he got frustrated with how the group handled themselves.
"Here's the thing, the Strokes, the relationship is good now," the Strokes singer said about the possibility of a new album. "The Strokes was my life. It was everything and I put everything into it - it was a journey that I wanted to keep moving forward, but I couldn't do that anymore and it was very frustrating."
"So it took all this time to getting round to almost starting a new band to get to the point where I can continue to do what I set out to do from the beginning. It's like if we had the best team ever and before the championship people started celebrating and not practicing. And we still have to play the playoffs."
With a new album reportedly on the way for The Strokes, he also said in the same interview how the group is starting to write new songs for a follow up record to "Comedown Machine."
"It's the first time [the Strokes have] been exclusively writing since 'Comedown Machine,'" Casablancas said. "We're planning on recording stuff. I still think we could do cool things and I'll do that. I'd like to do both [bands] really if I could."
First confirmation of the new materials came during an appearance at the Landmark Festival in Washington early this year.
According to a report from Diffuser, a tweet from one of the audience at the said show had the band confirmed that they would be working on a new The Strokes album.
"We'll be back soon. We'll be back in the studio and s-t," the fan said.
