Today, The Strokes debut a new music video for “The Adults Are Talking” directed by Roman Coppola—watch it above. Set in a future populated by superhuman androids, the video finds the band struggling to hold their own in a baseball game (dressed in uniforms that mimick the colors of The Houston Astros, aka The 'Stros, get it?) against formidable robot competitors.
The track is from the band’s first new album in seven years, The New Abnormal, which is nominated for Best Rock Album at the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards, marking the band’s first-ever Grammy nomination—stream HERE. In October, The Strokes returned to Saturday Night Live to perform “The Adults Are Talking” and “Bad Decisions.”
The New Abnormal was recorded at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu and produced by Rick Rubin. The album’s cover artwork is a painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Bird on Money.
The Strokes are singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr, bassist Nikolai Fraiture and drummer Fabrizio Moretti.
