Albert Hammond, Jr.

What's it sound like?

 

You can hear strokes-sih influence. But it's so much more reassuring. The bitterness of Julian Casablancas is substituted for Hammond's soulful, soothing voice. There's increased instrumentation. It's very clean, and precise, like Strokes songs. Very dense too. Extremely Poppy. Brilliant.

good record.

 

maybe better than FIOE even... (not saying a ton i know)

 

I mean, I'm a huge Strokes sucker, so of course I love FIOE. But it's definitely not representative of their talent at all. It's their attempt at more ambition, at sprawling out. It's the closest (hopefully) they will ever come to a double album or a reinvented artist album. I think it's pretty obvious that the strength of the band is in irresistibly melodic, quick, dense songs, and albums. FIOE def. has its moments of greatness though (You Only Live Once, Razorblade, On The Other Side). I have virtually no idea what to expect from them next.
