The Strokes' Reality Check: A Decade of Soundtrack to America's Disillusionment The Strokes have always been a band that wears its influences openly, yet manages to sound distinctly itself.
Their latest single, "Falling Out of Love," is no exception – a frenetic, hook laden romp recalling the early days of garage rock revivalism while still feeling contemporary.
The use of Auto Tune in "Falling Out of Love" is a clear nod to the band's raw, post punk sound on albums like Is This It. Julian Casablancas' vocals have a similar whiff of desperation and urgency.
