The Strokes will compile some of their earliest singles in a new vinyl box set.

Due out on February 24th, The Singles – Volume 01 boasts ten singles from the band’s first three albums, as well as their companion B-sides. All ten singles come pressed on black 7-inch vinyl, with the artwork from each original release replicated in the package. Pre-orders are now available via the band’s website and Amazon.

Additionally, videos for all ten singles have been re-released in high definition on the band’s YouTube channel.

Producer Rick Rubin recently revealed that The Strokes worked on a new album on the top of a mountain in Costa Rica. Frontman Julian Casablancas later clarified that, “we’re still so extremely v far off from from being even close to any kinda remotely-near-doneness.” The band’s last album,  The New Abnormal, came in 2020.
