The Strokes Share New Song "OBLIVIUS": Listen
Julian Casablancas’ new monthly radio show, Culture Void, premiered this morning on SiriusXM. As rumored, he brought a surprise with him: new music from The Strokes. The song, “OBLIVIUS,” will feature on the band’s upcoming Future Present Past EP, their first new material since 2013′s Comedown Machine. Listen to it below.
In a press release, Casablancas spoke about the relaunch of his label, Cult Records. The press release said, “The newly launched website now includes a comprehensive store featuring both exclusive Cult titles and non- exclusive releases, books, merch, and more, all personally curated by Casablancas. In addition, the site also features an online radio station and editorial component with news coverage, long form features, interviews, and photo galleries, as well as a section where fans can discover new artists, music, videos, and more.”
Casablancas said:
The ultimate goal is to turn Cult into this time machine that exists to make sure that bands like the Velvet Underground can be more popular and appreciated in their time vs. twenty years later. I hope it can help deliver a supportive audience that makes cool and important art more commercial. It’s kind of super ambitious, but my long-term dream is to create connections between all the cooler, more underground radio stations, record stores, thrift shops, zines and blogs, and artists and fans to be part of a more unified thing.
