New Music: Going Shopping

           

Originally released two months ago, now The Strokes shared the official video for "Going Shoping" in which the band were inspired to pay homage to the classic video for Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al." For Chevy Chase's iconic role in Simon's video, they reached out to Walton Goggins as their ideal/dream long shot. Goggins was on location for a feature film in the Canary Islands but told the band on a call, “Let’s go shopping!” In late May, Casablancas and friends traveled to Tenerife—a Spanish island off the coast of Morocco—to meet up with Walton Goggins on location. Now, here's the results with the release of the music video directed by longtime collaborator Johann Rashid. The band’s seventh studio album, Reality Awaits, is set for release on July 24th via RCA Records. “Going Shopping” was released in April and followed by “Falling out of Love.”
