New cryptic activity in the world of The Strokes<\/a> ahead of their Coachella set has hinted that new music might be on the horizon for the indie stalwarts.<\/p>\n

On their social media channels, the band shared a series of retro, 8-bit style visuals, including a blue, pixelated animation of a horse pulling a cassette tape and a notepad. <\/p>\n

\n

Hopping on a new marketing trend that has found much success, the band has also launched a new SMS sign-up page, which invites fans to opt in to messaging straight from the source.<\/p>\n

Off the back of this, some fans received a message asking for their e-mail addresses to \u201cshare something soon.\u201d They added cryptically, \u201cWe\u2019ll be in touch,\u201d sending social media into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

Additionally, as per Happy Mag<\/a>, <\/em>the phone number linked to the band ends in 1251, which is most likely a callback to their 2003 track, \u201912:51\u2032, which opens with the apt lyric, \u201cTalk to me now I\u2019m older.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Strokes are scheduled to perform at Coachella on April 11th and April 18th, at around 20:40 local time for a 75-minute set.<\/p>\n

They also have warm-up dates lined up in San Francisco on April 4th and April 6th, which could be used to preview new material before Coachella.<\/p>\n

Following this, the New York icons will perform at festivals such as Outside Lands and Just Like Heaven, as well as Japan\u2019s Summer Sonic.<\/p>\n

The Strokes\u2019 last full-length album, The New Abnormal<\/a>, <\/em>was produced by Rick Rubin and released in 2020.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Rubin confirmed that he was working on a new album<\/a> with the indie legends, referring to an \u201cincredible\u201d recording experience they shared in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

In response to the mounting questions regarding new music, the frontman said that, though they had \u201cjammed and started some stuff,\u201d a complete record was \u201cextremely very far off\u201d.<\/p>\n

Instead, he encouraged fans to \u201cCheck back in a year or [two] honestly.\u201d <\/p>\n

Could this be the moment we\u2019ve been waiting for? <\/p>\n
