the strokes working on new material

The Strokes have said they are planning to record the follow-up to their fourth album, this year's 'Angles', "as soon as possible."


Despite a five year gap between 2006's 'First Impressions Of Earth' and 'Angles' the band say they're  currently preparing new material and plan to record again very soon.


Speaking to Rolling Stone, bassist Nikolai Fraiture said of the band's plans to record a new album: "If we could do it tomorrow, that'd be great. But yeah, as soon as possible I think."


Fraiture said of the new sessions: "Its been feeling really good. We're kind of doing the same thing as the last record – we're bringing in parts and ideas and kind of just working on those and trying to make sense of them, coming from five different people."
