THE STROKES SHARE NEW EPISODE OF PIRATE RADIO SERIES FEATURING COLIN JOST AND GORDON RAPHAEL “BAD DECISIONS” CLIMBING TOP 10 AT ALT RADIO FIRST ALBUM IN SEVEN YEARS THE NEW ABNORMAL OUT NOW VIA CULT/RCA RECORDS TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM July 23, 2020—Today, The Strokes share a new installment of their ongoing pirate radio series, “Five Guys Talking About Things They Know Nothing About”—watch it HERE. The new episode is the third installment of the show, and the first in a series in which the band will speak with the producers of their albums. The episode airing today features The Strokes in conversation with Gordon Raphael—who produced their debut EP The Modern Age, their first two LPs Is This It and Room On Fire and contributed to their third LP First Impressions Of Earth—as well as their longtime friend, SNL’s Colin Jost. The band’s new album The New Abnormal, their first in seven years, was released in April to widespread critical acclaim. The album’s lead single, “Bad Decisions,” is currently Top 10 at Alternative radio and still climbing, marking the band’s first Alternative Top 10 since 2006 and setting the record for the most time between Alternative Top 10 entries. Additionally, “Bad Decisions,” went #1 on AAA in April. Upon release, The New Abnormal debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart and reached #8 on the Billboard 200, #1 Current Rock Album, #1 Top Current Album, #1 Current Alternative Album and #1 Vinyl Album. Of The New Abnormal, The Times of London praises “The Strokes give us their second masterpiece,” while The New Yorker raves the album “sounds better to me than almost anything else I’ve listened to this spring.” NPR Music calls The New Abnormal “one of their best,” and Rolling Stone says it’s “their best since the glory days of the early ‘00s.” The Independent praises, “stacked with rolling, streetwise grooves, boldly graffitied onto the chipped paintwork of New York City past,” while Evening Standard says the “bold comeback is their best in years…up there with their best work while sounding boldly different from it.” 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 NEW ABNORMAL TRACK LIST 1. The Adults Are Talking 2. Selfless 3. Brooklyn Bridge To Chorus 4. Bad Decisions 5.

Editorial ™ Bienvenidos… La música forma parte fundamental del ser humano gracias al papel que ha jugado y juega en todas las culturas del mundo. Es una constante en la historia de la humanidad. Los instrumentos y sonidos podrán cambiar, pero en esencia siempre será expresión de emociones y sentimientos. México es el punto de enlace entre la música latinoamericana y la estadounidense; somos un país con un gran interés y pasión por la música de todas partes del continente y del orbe. Esa pasión se refleja en las bandas que crean canciones, remixes, covers, en los medios y sobre todo en la audiencia: que asiste a conciertos, busca lo más nuevo, pero que también celebra encontrarse en todo momento con las grandes bandas del pasado. Hoy, y tras una década de existencia, Filter Magazine, la publicación originaria de Estados Unidos, llega a México para compartir lo más actual y relevante, pero también para impulsar a las bandas referentes cuyo legado siempre está allí… esperando ser descubierto. Así que, es un honor presentarles el trabajo que después de varios meses de planeación se consagra en este primer número de Filter México, que cabe resaltar, será la primera publicación musical gratuita de nuestro país, porque sabemos que el modelo editorial tradicional no es viable para un melómano nómada.

Psaudio Copper
Issue 133 MARCH 29TH, 2021 Copper has a new look! So does the rest of the PS Audio website, the result of countless hours of hard work. There's more functionality and easier access to articles, and additional developments will come. There will be some temporary glitches and some tweaks required – like high-end audio systems, magazines sometimes need tweaking too – but overall, we're excited to provide a better and more enjoyable reading experience. I now hand over the column to our esteemed Larry Schenbeck: Dear Copper Colleagues and Readers, Frank has graciously asked if I’d like to share a word or two about my intention to stop writing Too Much Tchaikovsky. So: thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed it – I wrote it for you. If you added comments occasionally, you made my day. I also wrote the column so I could keep learning, especially about emerging creatives and performers in classical music. Getting the chance to stumble upon something new and nourishing had sustained me in the academic world – it certainly wasn’t the money! – and I was grateful to continue that in Copper. So why stop? Because, as they say, there is a season. It has become considerably harder for me to stumble upon truly fresh sounds and then write freshly thereon. Here I am tempted to quote Douglas Adams or Satchel Paige, who both knew how to deliver an exit line. But I’ll just say (since Frank has promised to leave the light on), goodbye for now. The door is open, Larry, and we can’t thank you enough for your wonderful contributions.
