Summary
The Strokes drop a new mini-doc, In Transit: Part II, a ten-minute backstage peek at their Costa Rican album sessions for ‘Reality Awaits’ — their seventh record, hailed by Albert Hammond Jr. as their best ever. Filmed over six weeks with Rick Rubin, it captures the band’s creative process, from Fabrizio Moretti’s drumming to Julian Casablancas’ antics, with fans nostalgic for the vibe of their 2001 debut doc. The album, delayed to sync vinyl and streaming, arrives July 24, while the band gears up for a major North American tour, heading to the UK and Europe this fall — their first headline run in the UK and Ireland in over two decades, with guitarist Nick Valensi taking a short break before returning.
