It was the group's first album in over five years, following ''First Impressions of Earth'' (2006). Recording After touring in support of ''First Impressions of Earth'', the Strokes went on an extended hiatus in 2007 and then regrouped two years later to begin writing new material for a fourth album.

The rest of the songs were either scrapped or reworked by the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Etymology The name of the Angles may have been first recorded in Latinised form, as ''Anglii'', in the ''Germania'' of Tacitus. It is thought to derive from the name of the area they originally inhabited, the Angeln peninsula, which is on the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein. Two related theories have been advanced, which attempt to give the name a Germanic etymology: # It originated from the Germanic root for "nar ...
