The Strokes<\/a> performed at a Bernie Sanders rally<\/a> in New Hampshire last week, but if the event was meant to boost up the presidential candidate\u2019s<\/a> clout with millennial voters, it also did the same for the band. The Strokes got a new surge of publicity following the rally, with particular focus on frontman Julian Casablancas singing \u201cNew York City Cops\u201d<\/a> next to a police officer.<\/p>\n

Wisely, they took their opportunity in the national spotlight to announce a brand-new album, The New Abnormal<\/em><\/a>, and debut a few of tracks, including lead single \u201cAt the Door.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Strokes officially released another new song, \u201cBad Decisions,\u201d alongside a music video<\/a> directed by Andrew Donoho and starring the band. The track is pretty reminiscent of Eighties new wave pop<\/a>, but the video is set squarely in the Seventies; the Strokes appear to be starring in their very own infomercial-slash-televised-special. Needless to say, the happy-go-lucky parody eventually turns into a surreal disaster. Clones are involved.<\/p>\n

The New<\/em> Abnormal<\/em>, the band\u2019s sixth studio album, arrives on April 10th via Cult and RCA. It was produced by Rick Rubin and the cover features art by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Bird on Money<\/em>. Ahead of the release, the Strokes will perform three North American shows in Vancouver, Seattle and Los Angeles with Alvvays<\/a> and King Princess<\/a> as support.<\/p>\n
