Julian Casablancas, Phrazes for the Young
Finally it’s out! Phrazes for the Young, Julian Casablancas first solo album, just hit the stores today! I was fortunate enough to get a copy of this precious album two days ago, obviously I’ve been listening to it non stop. My first thoughts after running through all the tracks were quite unsure of this new route that Julian has decided to take. The first track to really catch my attention was the single “11th Dimension.” the beat is really catchy, and I love the power in it. What surprised me about this album were the lyrics, It’s great poetry throughout the album.
Even though I know a few Strokes fans that would think this whole album sound like 12:51 and it’s too soft and whiny, I’m sure that Julian Casablancas will gain a lot more fans in the end.
I’ll let you be the judge of that:

Aslo make sure you check out this interview with Julian about the album and his inspiration.
and last but not least you need to watch this trailer for the album.. a little bird whispered in my ears that this trailer is the beginning of his music video for the song “Glass.” I will not reveal the birds name nor ethnicity.
and if you’re a true fan then you shouldn’t miss him on stage in LA in november. and for tickets, click here!
