New From The Strokes...sort of

Julian Casablancas, The Strokes singer and chief songwriter, will release his debut solo album, Phrazes for the Young, this fall!

The eight songs on the disc include "River of Brake Lights," "Glass" and "Ludlow St." The album was produced by Jason Lader, who has previous worked with Jay-Z, Coldplay, Gwen Stefani and Justin Timberlake. Additional production came from Mike Mogis, the studio wizard in Bright Eyes.

In the past few years, while The Strokes have been on hiatus, guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. released two solo records. Bassist Nikolai Fraiture -- as his alter ego, Nickel Eye -- went solo with last year's album, The Time of the Assassins. And drummer Fabrizio Moretti made an inceredible disc with his buddies in Little Joy. For the past few months, as we've told you,The Strokes have been cracking away, writing tunes together for their fourth album, and getting along better than ever.

Soon, Julian will announce some special U.S. dates to present Phrazes for the Young, and promises a solo tour for later this year. Check out below a preview for his upcomign album. Thoughts?
