Apparently The Strokes aren’t in the studio right now after all

In a recent interview with The West Australian, Albert Hammond Sr - the musician dad of The Strokes’ own Albert Hammond Jr - got a bit overexcited, claiming that the band are currently in the studio working on their new album with enigmatic producer Rick Rubin.

“They’re making a new album now with a great producer called Rick Rubin,” Papa Hammond said. “I speak to my son every day and he says that they’re so happy.”

Now, his son has taken to Twitter to try and rein his dad’s comments in a bit.

“Sorry everyone, we are not in the studio recording,” he said. “Forgive Albert Sr he got prematurely excited. A lot of unknowns and nothing worth speaking about at this time. We met and played a few music ideas for Rick to feel out a vibe but even a theoretical album plan would be years away, if at all.”
