"I do not like hearing the same genre for three songs in a row," Casablancas said of that record, titled Julian Casablancas + the Voidz. Jazz, world music, "modern classical" are all influences on the LP's sound, as well as Black Flag and Sebastian Tellier.

The 35-year-old singer also hopes to reunite with the Strokes for a follow-up to last year's Comedown Machine. They want to "carry on as friends", he explained, "recording a couple of songs [and doing] a couple of shows". "We are friends, you know what I mean?" he said. "[But] just to make it work – from just sitting down and having coffee and hanging out to being on-stage and performing as a unit. Just have it all be positive friend vibes."
