After more than five years of waiting out in Italy on 22 March (the day before in the U.S.), but it is now possible to stream on their official website - http:/ / new.thestrokes.com / featured / listen-to-angles-here - the new and fourth album of the Strokes: PiacenzaSera did not miss this chance to give you a preview.
