Albert Hammond Jr. finishes second record

Albert Hammond Junior has finished his second album.

No exact release date has been confirmed yet, though Como Te Llama is expected to arrive in June.

The follow-up to 2006 effort Yours to Keep (review) features thirteen tracks and The Strokes guitarist announced his intention to tour extensively to support the record this year.

We hope to tour all year and come to each and everyone’s town,” Hammond Jr. said in a MySpace bulletin. “From the bottom of my heart I thank you for all the support you have shown me over the past year or two.

i really liked his first album

hopefully this is good too

So did I

it was an understated pleasure.

is it gonna sound

uncannily like the strokes again?

sorry, i couldnt help it

but it sounded massively like ths strokes to me, i mean his band even fucking looks like them!

well im guessing that may be because they are american musicians

and the songs sound similar as some of them were meant to be strokes songs. Saying a band sound like the strokes isnt necessarily bad at all either.

^This.

The songs are written by the guy who writes the strokes songs, and he decided that they were not exactly strokes. I really liked the first album.

fair dos fair dos,

i may have said it sounded like strokes, but i dint say it was bad, all im saying, is that if i was in his postiion, I'd probably want to do something a bit different artistically on a solo career.

Point taken.

Same actually. Like DJing or sumat.

I don't really think the album sounded like the Strokes

it was sort of more friendly and melodic.

fair point

yeah but i mean it was still strokesy

i really liked it though, was a nice gentle listen, good for when you have a headache and stuff

^this

I'm not a Strokes fan

but his first solo album was really nice.
