New York indie icon Julian Casablancas has unveiled further details of his forthcoming solo album.
Julian Casablancas is one of the main songwriting talents in The Strokes. His doe eyed stance made him a powerful frontman but it was his expressive command of lyrics that elevated the New Yorkers above their peers.
When the band went on a break in 2006 it was widely presumed that Casablancas would start a solo career. However when his fellow Strokes began releasing new material the singer was strangely quiet.
A collaboration with Pharrell Williams and Santigold followed, before Julian Casablancas struck out on his own.
Recruiting several friends the singer retired to the recording studio where he began crafting new material. Details have been scarce on the ground, with Julian Casablancas so far only confirming the name of the project – ‘Phrazes For The Young’.
Julian Casablancas recently previewed one track from the album. Titled ’11th Dimension’ the singer streamed the song online, delighting fans with their first taste of the forthcoming solo album.
The final running order for ‘Phrazes For The Young’ has still to be decided, with the album running to eight tracks. Song titles include the forbidding ‘Chords Of The Apocalypse’ and ‘Left And Right In The Dark’.
Julian Casablancas is set to release his new album ‘Phrazes For The Young’ on October 26th. Tracks are as follows:
‘Out Of The Blue’
‘River Of Brake Lights’
‘Chords Of The Apocalypse’
’11th Dimension’
‘Ludlow Street’
‘Glass’
‘Left And Right In The Dark’
‘Tourist’
