The Strokes - Reality Awaits [Indie Black Ice Glitter Vinyl]

Please Note: This Releases on July 24 and will ship at that time!

The Strokes return with Reality Awaits, a nine-song album produced by Rick Rubin and shaped around the band's familiar mix of clipped guitar lines, dry vocal delivery, and New York rock economy. "Going Shopping" gives the record its first clear entry point, bringing the band's offhand phrasing and nervous forward motion into a new album cycle. This indie exclusive black ice glitter vinyl record pairs the album with a trifold gatefold jacket and 12-page booklet.

"Psycho Sh**" opens the track list with a title that signals the band's sharper side, while "Dine N'Dash" leans into the kind of short, pointed wording that has always suited The Strokes. "Lonely in the Future" and "Falling Out of Love" move the first side toward more reflective territory before Side B brings in "Going to Babble On," "Going Shopping," "Liar's Remorse," "The Fruits of Conquest," and "Pros and Cons." The nine-song sequence keeps the album compact instead of stretching the format.

The black ice glitter edition is the indie exclusive vinyl configuration of Reality Awaits. Confirmed packaging includes a single disc, trifold jacket, paper disc sleeve, 12-page booklet, polybag, and logo sticker on the exterior. For shoppers comparing editions, this pressing is the color variant with the strongest physical package details attached to the LP format.
