The Strokes launched a mysterious teaser campaign late last night (May 25), projecting the band's logo on buildings in New York and London, indicating that their previously reported studio work might be revealed rather soon.
Frontman Julian Casablancas also launches a new radio show called Culture Void on Sirius XMU today (May 25), and he's expected to debut a new Strokes single during the inaugural episode.
It will mark the band's first new material since 2013's Comedown Machine. The Strokes are set to make their live return at the Governors Ball in New York next month.
