Description:
This is the solo debut from The Strokes` guitarist. Featured artists include Julian Casablancas, Sean Lennon, Ben Kweller, and many others. The core trio is Albert on guitars and vocals, joined by Matt Romano on drums and Josh Lattanzi on bass. "..Yours to Keep is more expansive than the Strokes, and sweeter: The opener, "Cartoon Music for Superheroes," is a seductive Beach Boys update complete with angelic harmonies; the slyly catchy "Bright Young Thing" sounds like a Seventies soft-rock hit sped up and fuzzed out; and "Holiday" is a jangly let`s-run-away love song, with props to Jamaica..." -- Christian Hoard, rollingstone.com (New Line Records)
