The Strokes<\/a> have debuted a new song, titled \u2018Going Shopping\u2019, at their show in San Francisco ahead of their Coachella slot this weekend.<\/p>\n

The indie stalwarts announced their new album, Reality Awaits<\/a>, <\/em>expected to be released in August.<\/p>\n

\n

Now, they\u2019ve given fans a first look at the new sonic world, marking their first new music since 2020\u2019s The New Abnormal.<\/em><\/p>\n

After opening their set at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco with \u2018Bad Decisions\u2019 and \u2018Hard to Explain\u2019, the group had two more hits, \u2018Selfless\u2019 and \u2018Someday\u2019, to soar through before their live debut of the new material.<\/p>\n

Julian Casablancas can be heard in the footage of their debut asking, \u201cWhy not?\u201d before the band picked up with skippy, sunny guitars leading into a verse that began, \u201cLike a tiger, they will chase you down.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the chorus, Casablancas\u2019s auto-tuned voice sings, \u201cI\u2019m going away to the country, don\u2019t wander off far, I\u2019m going out of my mind, throwing all my plans out the window.\u201d<\/p>\n

The New York legends have been teasing new music with a new marketing strategy,<\/a> which encouraged fans to sign up for texts right from the source.<\/p>\n

Since then, 100 fans who provided their addresses received cassettes which featured the new song, bringing back the analogue, physical experience of the indie scene.<\/p>\n

The band is soon set to return to Coachella for the first time in 15 years this weekend. Following this, the icons will perform at festivals such as Outside Lands and Just Like Heaven, as well as Japan\u2019s Summer Sonic.<\/p>\n

The group has returned after a hiatus for the past few years, which saw Casablancas working with his side project, The Voidz<\/a>, on a new album, while guitarist Albert Hammond Jr, focusing on his solo career, put out the album\u00a0Melodies on Hiatus\u00a0<\/em>in 2023.<\/p>\n
