LA Times: Albert Hammond Jr. Feature
While The Strokes presumably endure their beards and exotic religion phase, Albert Hammond Jr. has cranked out two solo albums in as many years. While they won't make many year-end lists, both are well-crafted and eminently listenable records. This recent Pitchfork review pretty much nails it. When I spoke to Albert he seemed like a reasonably nice fellow. down to earth, and really appreciative of the fact that the non-singing rhythm guitarist from The Strokes could have a viable solo career. I'm posting two of the best songs from his most recent album, Como Te Llama? The latter is called "Victory at Monterrey." I presume it deals with a squabble with some unruly sea lions.
