The Strokes
Internal friction resulted in a unique process where members tracked parts separately. This detachment influenced the outcome, which leans into synth-pop textures rather than traditional group playing.
Released as a final label obligation, the result reflects a departure from the gritty guitar work of their early days. It captures a band trading their established riffs for a polished and retro-futuristic approach.
