On February 7, the band posted a silent clip featuring artwork for The New Abnormal. The artwork was taken from the 1981 Jean-Michel Basquiat piece “Bird on Money.”
The Strokes’ last studio album was 2013’s Comedown Machine. In 2016, they released the Future Present Past EP. During a New Year’s Eve concert this year at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the band debuted a new song called “Ode to the Mets.” They’ll soon kick off a handful of North American gigs.
