"Under Cover Of Darkness" Available to Purchase on February 15th

The Strokes are set to release their newest single, Under Cover Of Darkness, on February 10th via a stream on their website. The song will be available to download for free for 48 hours from www.thestrokes.com, and will arrive at Australian radio on the same day. Under Cover Of Darkness will be available to purchase digitally on February 15th.

Rolling Stone US had nothing but superlatives to say regarding Under Cover Of Darkness, awarding the song 4 stars. They proclaimed that the song "barrels into the bar with "Return to Form" written on its forehead!"

The song is the band's first released track from their highly anticipated upcoming album Angles, out on March 18th through Sony music Entertainment Australia. Angles is the band's first new release since 2006's First Impressions of Earth and marks the ambition of that album with the immediacy of the band's earlier albums, Is This It (2001) and Room On Fire (2003). In 2010, the band returned to the road, playing and headlining the sold out Splendour in the Grass Festival in Australia, as well as major festivals in the United States and UK, including the Isle of Wight Festival, Lollapalooza, Hurricane Festival, Rockness, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits. Time Out Chicago hailed the Lollapalooza performance as "the best set I've seen since covering Lollapalooza. Better than Radiohead in 2008. Better than... who headlined last year? ...The crowd...was euphoric."
