Phrazes_cover_smallAfter a great week celebrating Halloween on Talk that Rocks we are back with a brand new CD Release of the Week!!!  Aren’t you excited!?

This week we’re takin’ a listen to Julian Casablancas’ solo debut Phrazes for the Young.  If you think the name Julian Casablancas sounds familiar it’s probably because it does.  He’s the lead singer from the band The Strokes.  Albert Hammond Jr.’s been making the rounds with his two solo albums and now it’s finally Julian Casablacas’ turn to shine as a solo artist.  Phrazes for the Young is full of synth coatings on some quite danceable tracks.  “11th Dimension” sits as as a standout from the rest of the tracks, but not by much.

Lucky for you’re we’ll be playing “11th Dimension” along with 2 more great tracks live tonight at 9/8c on Talk That Rocks, found only at www.talkthatrocks.com.  See you on the show!!

Check out Julian Casablancas performing “11th Dimension” from Phrazes for the Young live on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien after the jump. Read more
