CRX share ‘Broken Bones’ from debut ‘New Skin’
The record itself follows on Friday.
Nick Valensi - he of luscious flowing locks and Strokes guitar noodling infamy - releases album, ‘New Skin’ on Friday (28th October), with new project CRX.
(Related: The Strokes “slowly but surely working on an album”)
We’ve already heard lead track, ‘Ways To Fake It’, and while that wasn’t a million miles away from Nick’s day job, they’ve now shared ‘Broken Bones’, a number which - as you’ll hear - nods a little more towards the record’s knob-twiddler, Josh Homme’s desert rock. With a few more electronics for good measure.
CRX are touring the US from early November, having recently completed a string of dates in support of Beck.
