Albert Hammond, Jr.
Following his feted 2007 solo debut Yours To Keep, Albert Hammond, Jr. (best known as guitarist for the Strokes) and his cohorts Matt Romano, Marc Philippe Eskenazi and Josh Lattanzi return with a new album ¿Cómo Te Llama? on Black Seal Records.

The title, rung out of casual conversation between Albert and Matt over some red wine, hints at the classic, summery music held within. The record was recorded over five weeks at Electric Lady Studios and produced by Albert along with engineer Gus Oberg and drummer Romano.

“I’m really proud of the power this record has,” says Albert. “I feel like my melodies and song arrangements have matured. Lyrically, I tried to have the words flow out more freely and not try to write one song but many. I would just sing and sing and then arrange the words afterwards.”

“My favorite songs would be ‘Borrowed Time,’ ‘Victory At Monterey’ and ‘You Won’t Be Fooled By This,’” said Hammond. “I love the whole record, but they change day by day, it’s like deciding what you want to eat.”

With a tour penciled for summer, the band are in exuberant spirits, as Albert reveals, “Our goal is to tour this album everywhere we can, get into those cracks and fill them up with music!”
