Julian Casablancas has responded to recent reports that they've been working on a new album with Rick Rubin, telling fans to "check back in a year or two honestly".

Earlier this week Rick Rubin appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, and discussed working on The Strokes' new album in Costa Rica. The legendary producer, who worked with the band on their 2020 album The New Abnormal, revealed they "rented this house up on top of the mountain, and set up the band outside."

The Strokes' Julian Casablancas has since responded to reports about Rubin's comments on his Instagram, writing, "my man Rick KiLLed it on Joe Rogan. True, Strokes've jammed and started some stuff, but we're still so extremely v far off from from being even close to any kinda remotely-near-doneness..."

"But enjoy this clip of the greatest (and hottest) of all time, as temporary solace.................... Lil Richard," he added. "Lotta jumping to conclusions - check back in a year or two honestly........
