We're all still stinging from the loss of the White Stripes, but maybe the 21st Century's other greatest garage band can cheer us up a bit. "Under Cover of Darkness," is the best Strokes' song I've heard since 2004's "12:51," featuring the sinewy guitar lines and economical solos endemic to the Strokes' best tracks, like "Someday" or "Last Nite," and a trademark ragged vocal by Julian Casablancas. It looks like these guys are trying to reclaim the belt for Best Band in NYC, and if this single is representative of the quality of the rest of the album (out March 22nd, 40 DAYS!), it will be hard to stop them.
