Here is an excerpt from www.rollingstone.com :

The Strokes plan to record their new album this September, in between summer tour dates with Weezer and the White Stripes, and a headlining tour in the fall. New songs for the album-in-progress include, "The Way It Is," "Meet Me in the Bathroom" and "I Can't Win."

"We have some [new] songs that are easy to get, that are really cool," says Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. "And there's some songs you have to hear a couple times to understand what's going on, but once you do the joy lasts so much longer. Like 'Last Nite' [the band's breakout single from their 2001 debut, Is This It?] is easy to swallow but it goes away so much faster. A song like [the same album's] 'Hard to Explain' is a little less easy to swallow, but a month later you're still totally into it."
