Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed as a side project by The Strokes' guitarist Nick Valensi, 'New Skin' was notably produced by Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme. The debut record fuses driving power-pop melodies with muscular, stoner-tinged alternative rock riffs, yielding a highly energetic, hook-laden sound.
