Albert Hammond Jr - one-fifth of New Yorkers The Strokes and solo artist in his own right - has told Planet Sound that a new Strokes album must come out next year.
Speaking to the Teletext 'zine, the guitarist commented:
"If we don't make a Strokes record before [the end of 2009], people will think that's the end of us. Nothing's set, but we're definitely figuring out something to do for 2009."
The band's last album, First Impressions Of Earth (review), came out in 2006. Hammond Jr's second solo album, ¿Cómo Te Llama?, was released on Monday (July 7) and is reviewed here.
