The Strokes To Start On Fourth Album
Bassist Nikolai Fraiture confirms the band will return to the studio in February.
The Strokes are to start work on their fourth album early next year.
Bassist Nikolai Fraiture told the BBC that the band are set to return to the studio in February 2009 to record the follow-up to 2006's 'First Impressions Of Earth'. "We are looking at going into the studio in February now and getting back to being a band again.
"It started with Nick [Valensi] having twins with his wife and he asked for a good amount of time off. After about six months he was ready to come back but other members of the band were doing their own thing. Albert [Hammond Jr] was doing his thing with his solo project and Julian [Casablancas] needed time off.
"One thing led to another so studio time kept getting pushed back."
Fraiture was in London to perform his solo material as Nickle Eye, and will release the album 'The Time Of The Assassins' on 27th January.
