The first time the Strokes put out an album in the midst of a local and national crisis was on October 9, 2001. The U.S. release of their full-length début, “Is This It,” had been delayed by 9/11, and the band had scrambled to excise “New York City Cops,” a sneering indictment of the city’s police force, from the CD. (It remained on the vinyl.) New York was grieving and dazed, but the Strokes seemed so emblematic of the city’s excesses and allure that loving them felt nearly patriotic.

Bloom, Madison (February 7, 2020). "The Strokes Tease Something Called The New Abnormal". Pitchfork . Retrieved February 19, 2020. It’s interesting to wonder if the Strokes will appeal to listeners born in the years following “Is This It”—young people who are in thrall, perhaps, to some of what the Strokes inspired (the Arctic Monkeys, Ty Segall) but not necessarily to the band itself. “I’m not scared / Just don’t care / I’m not listening, you hear?” Casablancas sings, on “Selfless.” The sensation he’s describing—a kind of purposeful disengagement—is familiar to anyone who came of age in the nineties, but apathy of this sort is largely anathema to Generation Z. Will the idea that life is too mortifying to be taken seriously compute for teen-agers who spend their spare time screaming themselves hoarse at climate protests? They have fought to hone and perpetuate a grammar of inclusivity, in which no one is made to feel insufficient, but so much of the pleasure of listening to the Strokes is in feeling as if you have arrived someplace exclusive, where heartache doesn’t quite register.

"Album Review: The Strokes – The New Abnormal". Gigwise . Retrieved April 10, 2020.The cover art for The New Abnormal features the 1981 painting Bird on Money by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. [22] The album's title was inspired by a quote made by former California governor Jerry Brown in November 2018 in the midst of the California wildfires. [23] Brown had responded to the emergency events being labeled "the new normal" by instead calling them "the new abnormal". [24] The wildfires had especially impacted Malibu, the location of Rubin's Shangri-La studio at which the band were recording the album, though the studio itself was left unharmed. This chain of events influenced the band to use the quote as the title for their album. [23] Despite the album title having been revealed in February 2020 and instead referencing Brown's quote, New York Times writer Jon Pareles noted in his review of the album that the title was a fitting description for public life during the COVID-19 pandemic. [25] Strokes singer Julian Casablancas also noted during the pandemic that the title "feels so prescient because of the parallel between something like coronavirus". [23] Promotion [ edit ]
