RECEIVE FIRST-EVER GRAMMY NOMINATION – BEST ROCK ALBUM FOR THE NEW ABNORMAL

December 1, 2020—Today, The Strokes debut a new music video for “The Adults Are Talking” directed by Roman Coppola—watch it HERE. Set in a future populated by superhuman androids, the video finds the band struggling to hold their own in a baseball game against formidable robot competitors.

The track is from the band’s first new album in seven years, The New Abnormal, which is nominated for Best Rock Album at the 63^rd Annual GRAMMY Awards, marking the band’s first-ever Grammy nomination—stream HERE.
