Julian Casablancas ~ Phrazes for the Young

I tried on Strokes lead Julian Casablancas’ new release for size and only one song grabs me: “Out of the Blue“‘ has a slight Feelies feel with swirling guitar and farfisa like synth. I kinda like ”Ludlow St”  as well – a ‘my pianos been drinking, not me’ song that deserves a few more listens. There’s a lot going on (musically) in that one, which is kinda cool. But that’s about it, for me at least. But Strokes fans will need to check it out for themselves, of course.
