Having almost finished recording The Strokes and eye up a late-summer album release.
Spin magazine say that the NYC rockers have almost finished recording in their hometown and that the album is a more collaborative affair than any of their previous efforts.
"I've written a lot of melodies for it, but the other guys have also contributed a lot more: melodies, choruses, parts," Julian Casablancas told the magazine. "It's way more collaborative. So it'll have a different feel than our other albums."
The band have also been confirmed as headliners for the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago between August 6 and 8. The Strokes will also headline nights at the Isle Of Wight Festival (June 12) and Rockness (June 11 or 13).
