The Strokes‘ bass player Nikolai Fraiture has said the band are in a ‘better place now’, and has compared the group’s primary studio sessions for their fifth album to marriage therapy, following the struggles which dominated work on this year’s ‘Angles‘.
Quoted in the Daily Star, Fraiture gave fans an early update on recording progress as the band aim to quickly put right the delays and inter-band tensions which resulted in the patchy feel that dominates ‘Angles’.
“Some people are bringing in stuff, some are not,” he explained. “There aren’t so many finished songs but we have many parts. We try putting them together like puzzles and making them stick.”
“What we do on our own is not the same as what we do together. We’re in a good place as a band right now. I feel like I’m at therapy in a marriage.”
The Strokes performed to a huge crowd at yesterday’s Leeds Festival, and swapping places on the bill with co-headliners Pulp.
