The Strokes' bassist, Nikolai Fraiture, recently said that the band is planning to start work on a new album in 2009. In London this week to play a solo gig, he told the BBC that the band's other commitments caused the delay in recording a follow-up to their 2006 release, 'First Impressions of Earth'. He said; "We are looking at going into the studio in February now and getting back to being a band again. It started with Nick [Valensi, guitarist] having twins with his wife and he asked for a good amount of time off. After about six months he was ready to come back but other members of the band were doing their own thing. Albert (Hammond Jr, guitarist) was doing his thing with his solo project and Julian (Casablancas, vocalist) needed time off. One thing led to another so studio time kept getting pushed back". Fraiture, who for his solo work goes by the alias Nickel Eye, releases his debut album, 'The Time of The Assassins' (with guest appearances by Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Regina Spektor.
