Arriving on a wave of well-earned hype rooted in tight chops and a confident swagger, The Strokes offer a Rock & Roll antidote to the plague of boy bands, teen divas, and petulant rap-rock outfits.
The Strokes' fifth album is immediately appealing as they sound like they’re genuinely having fun. At times it feels like a mixtape the Strokes made for themselves: 11 songs, 11 different genre experiments.
Half Moon Run return with their third album, A Blemish In The Great Light, via Glassnote. Produced by Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, Beck, Killers) and featuring the singles Then Again and Flesh & Blood.
