The Strokes have released another single from the forthcoming Reality Awaits, their first album in six years. “Falling Out of Love” follows last month’s “Going Shopping,” which was originally sent out to 100 lucky fans on cassette tape. That song’s prominent use of Auto-Tune also makes a return. The Strokes will give “Falling Out of Love” its live debut tomorrow night (May 14) on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Listen to it below.
Reality Awaits is out June 26. Julian Casablancas & co. made the album with producer Rick Rubin. On top of an imminent international tour, the Strokes will play headlining slots at Bonnaroo in Tennessee and San Francisco’s Outside Lands. The band used their main-stage set at Coachella Weekend Two to call out the U.S. government’s history of foreign intervention, projecting a video that displayed footage of bombings in Gaza and Iran.
