The new album is still untitled, and Gentles could not reveal any song titles either. Thirteen new tracks have been recorded and almost finished, and the band plans on spending the next two months mixing the record, along with Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Prince, Bruce Springsteen).

The Strokes hope to put together a small tour of Europe and possibly Japan and Australia before the album's release. They also would like to play South America by year's end, possibly in November, though nothing is officially confirmed. Gentiles adds that, "for the U.S., we're hoping to do something similar possibly in the few weeks leading up to the album release in January... just a few small venue shows in select cites around the country, as sort of a preview tour." He also says The Strokes plan on "much more extensive touring" than the band did after the release of Room On Fire.
