The lead singer of the Strokes launched some solo material in 2009, departing from his band’s normal signature to make spacier, more synth-heavy, ‘80s-inspired music.
Casablancas’ debut Phrazes for the Young (2009) was met with acclaim mixed with anxiety that its success would mark the death of the band.
Having released his second studio album, Tyranny, with his hand-picked neo-psychedelic rock group a couple of months back, Casablancas continues to push boundaries.
Casablancas’ weirdly attractive songs could, as he continues to develop as an artist, equal the significance of earlier Strokes material.
