It’s been five years betweenalbums for New York outfitThe Strokes. Their longawaitedfourth LP – andthe first to be writtencollaboratively as a band,rather than just Casablancas – Angles is themost eclectic of the band’s albums to date.

As the album title implies, new directionsare approached and explored here, thoughtracks such as ‘Under Cover of Darkness’ and‘Verdict’ still retain elements of what we loveso much about the band’s sound.

Miranda La Fleur is from Readings Carlton.
