I'm guessing that most of you will already know about The Strokes new album, but just in case you don't here are the details.

The album will be called Angles, has 10 tracks and is due to be released on 21st of March in the UK and most of the rest of Europe, March 22nd in North America and 23rd of March in Japan. The first single will be Under Cover Of Darkness, rumoured to be released 9th of February.

Rolling Stone seems to like it a lot, but I haven't read an issue of that in well over a decade, so I'm not taking anything from that. They say, amongst other things, that
Angles is the best album the Strokes have made since Is This It because of the stylistic depth and progressive excitement in those crisscross guitars, the tightly wound rhythms and Casablancas’ dry trademark croon.


Track listing is:

1 - Machu Picchu
2 - Under Cover of Darkness
3 - Two Kinds of Happiness
4 - You're So Right
5 - Taken For a Fool
6 - Games
7 - Call Me Back
8 - Gratisfaction
9 - Metabolism
10 - Life is Simple in the Moonlight

There are no new tracks released from it yet, so here are a few tracks from The Strokes that you may not have heard. I'm not going to call them rare, but they've never been released on an album. There's a b-side, a fanclub track and a live song with special guest. Enjoy.

Hawaii, the B-side to Juicebox.

Elephant Song, fanclub recording.

Under Control feat. Har Mar Superstar, live.
