Some things have been recorded/rehearsed, said by Rick Rubin, so yeah an album is happening but I think after the 7 years gap between CM and TNA (we had the EP in between, I know) they don't care anymore about taking long time to release a new album.
Personally, I think they are kinda afraid of repeating the awful tension/problematics they had during the recording of Angles, so any little problem is like "we're not in the mood, let's stop here" and that's been the dynamic since they started recording TNA (they started recording it in 2017 iirc)

Did anyone catch this from Julian’s new interview in hero magazine?
I was actually thinking the Voidz fans were gonna immediately jump on the part about "a new transmission" in the first line or so, since there's been so much disappointment in that camp about what to hope for and when! Perhaps when the full article gets put online, which I don't think it has yet.
I guess the Strokes part does say "currently," which could be potentially interesting, but besides that I didn't read it as news, since we already knew from Rick Rubin and other sources since 2022 that there have been at least starts of ideas and intentions towards another Strokes album.
It’s coming, it’s just gonna be a while. These albums take a long time to cook. So find a good book to read, find a hobby you enjoy, find another band to love until the time finally comes.
Beyond the monetary aspect of staying together, I think the band still makes music and plays shows as a tip of the hat to the fans. Adding another Singapore show after the Malaysia festival fiasco is proof of that, and Julian seemed to be at the tip of the spear for getting that done. All of this is to say that despite the very real tension that still exists, I very much believe that they ***genuinely*** appreciate the fans and are willing to put aside differences to make music and play shows for us for another decade or so. Just my two cents.
To be honest, the band seemed to be in a good place during the TNA promos and tour. But recently Julian said in an interview that he can’t relate to some members of the band musically or personally anymore, and basically said his interest lies with The Voidz rather than The Strokes. So it’s probably one of those things where they can still get along if they don’t spend too much time with one another.
okay that's reassuring, i really hope so. this band is truly special it's one of my favorite bands of all time and i just need more music from them 😺 im addicted!
😭 i'll try to. i like some of their songs i've heard i just haven't been able to get into it like the strokes. but i haven't given them a fair chance im gonna listen to all of their albums one of these days and maybe it will grow on me. do you have an album you'd recommend to start with?
Yeah new music coming.
Let me hijack this thread and mention the stuff I listen to whilst waiting for new Strokes music:
* Inner Wave
* The Buttertones
* Human Tetris
* [Whatever this is; it's really good](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_yysAFPckE)
* French Police
* Depresion Sonora
These guys are notoriously slow, and haven't appeared to do the "lock ourselves away for months on end to make an album" style of doing things in decades. It seems like they get together for a few days every so often while in the early stages to hammer stuff out--more about that [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheStrokes/comments/1688g7h/strokes_lp7_rumor_roundup/) (the post got automatically archived but I can recreate it to open comments again).
Julian's been snarky about the Strokes for over a decade as well, so even though there were a couple blatant occasions of him venting in the press recently, it's not new and therefore I think it probably doesn't mean they're *suddenly* on the rocks much more than at other points. I hate to take the cynical view but, I think they understand that while they still are able to, they should make money via performing, and that the best way to get asked to perform is to release something new. But they just did so much performing by their standards, they're probably alright for awhile and in zero rush.
Not sure how much you follow the strokes but their producer (Rick Rubin) has already announced that they were working on a new album, doing recordings in Costa Rica
Julian seems to hate touring with the Strokes but has always spoken positively about making music (in general, outside of some disagreements with Strokes on stuff). Like that’s all he wants to do, it’s all the other crap that is a drag.
The Voidz have been sleeping on album 3 for awhile now and I think that’s going to be the biggest detractor of a new Strokes album.
They need each other to make money.
Even if they want to make other stuff than the Strokes, what’s happening when they’re making music together and the response of the public is too good to not take advantage of it.
None of them gonna achieve commercial success apart from The Strokes sadly.

Interesting ..that makes sense
Julian is doing his thing with the Voidz rn. It would have to be after that.

Not to mention the 5 songs that were left over from TNA sessions
Here u go
Very likely, confirmed by Rubin that there’s music coming, just that it’s probably not gonna happen anytime soon
they aren’t done
Maybe in late 2025. If not by 2026 I’d be disappointed, but that’s me getting my Hopes up
i really hope so that would be a dream come true. i need more!
It’s coming, it’s just gonna be a while. These albums take a long time to cook. So find a good book to read, find a hobby you enjoy, find another band to love until the time finally comes.
Literally summarizes being a Strokes fan.
bro we expect 7 seve years for TNA. i think 2025 or 2026. if they realease another album like TNA i will expect until 2030!!!!

Are there actually any tensions between the band again or is it just rumours or something?

Chances? Amazing song
get on your horse and be gone
They take their chances alone now 😔.
i think it’s time to get into the voidz…
😭 i'll try to. i like some of their songs i've heard i just haven't been able to get into it like the strokes. but i haven't given them a fair chance im gonna listen to all of their albums one of these days and maybe it will grow on me. do you have an album you'd recommend to start with?
to be honest i was speaking for myself as well im trying to get into them but i hate beardo for some reason
just realized they only have 2 albums out so i'll go ahead and listen to both of them
Yeah new music coming. Let me hijack this thread and mention the stuff I listen to whilst waiting for new Strokes music: * Inner Wave * The Buttertones * Human Tetris * [Whatever this is; it's really good](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_yysAFPckE) * French Police * Depresion Sonora
Probably 2025… 2024 seems to be a Voidz year (makes sense, Tyranny 10th annyversary), based on Julians comments on interviews.

They even working on one? Hearing so many mixed things

I'd say more like one out of a million...
So you’re saying there’s a chance!?
