Julian Casablancas might have the looks of a sweaty punk god in those photos but his latest endorsement proves that he doesnt give a funk. The Strokes frontman is the new face of a French perfuam Decibel: The Essence of Rock which smells like Aldehydes and Green Italian Tangerine with hints of licorice, violet, Haitian Vetiver, Tonka Bean and Vanilla. HMMMM smells interesting.
I literally waited for so many hours upon reading the news about the release of The Strokes' new single to be streamed and downloaded for free through the band's website for only 48 hours. Under Cover of Darkness is the lead single of the band's new album Angel, their recording after 5 years of hiatus as a group. We all know Julian Casablancas attempt to do a solo career but it seems that he's well fit with a band. Although I liked his electro-dance sound, Casablancas is just better in doing an all out rock music.Listening to Under Cover of Darkness is like revisiting The Strokes first album Is This It where their distinct 70s garage rock sound with modern pop influence helped them stood out. You can stream Under Cover of Darkness here on my blog or you can go to their official website and download it for free within 48 hours only.
Finally, the video is out! Been waiting for this for the longest time now and it's a good way to end 2009. I love the video just as much I love the song. Julian Casablancas has a slight similarity with MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden. Sayawan na!
