According to Pitchfork.com, The Strokes has shared a retro teaser video featuring a 1980s Nissan 300ZX and the tagline “In the Flesh, it’s Even Sexier,” which confirms that the band‘s seventh studio album is called Reality Awaits and will be out “this summer.” Reality Awaits will mark the first Strokes LP since 2020’s The New Abnormal. That record earned Julian Casablancas and company their first Grammy.

In 2024, Casablancas’ band the Voidz released the album Like All Before You. The Strokes are performing at Coachella this weekend. They’re also headlining Bonnaroo and Outside Lands in the summer. On the Instagram post, fans started to share their thought regarding the retro teaser video: One fan said: “LIFE IS WORTH LIVING AGAIN,” while another one commented with: “Say less and get in, we’ll have a fun ride!”
