The track, the first to be lifted from sessions for the band's second album, will be released on October 6. The currently untitled new album will follow two weeks later on October 20. Guitarist Albert Hammond Jr told NME that 12:51 was one of only eleven finished tracks The Strokes recorded with producer Gordon Raphael. He said: "In the rehearsal room if we played one song that wasn't as good as the last one, we'd drop it. It didn't become a song. "We're picky like that. That way we know that the songs that we go into the studio with are all good enough and it's down to us to make them work. We just took in eleven dandies."
