Julian Casablancas on The Voidz New Album Like All Before You | Apple Music

[@vegancookiesjp]

He’s so open and focused during this interview. After all these years we finally have a Julian interview where he’s coherent. Also the fit went hard I need to see him shop for clothes

[@buttercuppictures4793]

[@zahleer]

I mean, quite a lot of those interviews have a drunk julian.

[@scapegear4978]

This guy can make julian laugh & telling his secret songwriting, singing technique. What an interviewer. Julian so relaxed just like talking to a musicians friend

[@itswaru8983]

respect how the interviewer actually has all this knowledge on the voidz and asked good questions, it may seem like a given but usually he never gets a break from interviewers asking the same basic questions and talking about the strokes instead of the voidz

[@alextorres7655]

Was thinking the same thing, really got to hear about the Voidz process and that was cool

[@drellamusic3622]

love or hate the new album, but we can agree that The Voidz are one of the bands out there pushing music boundaries. I rather listen to their failures than to other's successes (and I'm not saying this album is a fail. I didn't like it as much as I liked Tyranny and Virtue after the first listening, but I'm aware that I need to listen to it again a couple of times more before judging). Also... I would love to see Julian performing his solo album live. It has been left aside and there's great stuff there

[@readysetmoses]

we in fact can't call agree on that, it was an exercise in masochism to get through it once

[@serialhealer5113]

Julian must be the most underrated composer in music. Dude wrote all the lyrics and MUSIC of The Strokes. Any guitarrist learning Srokes songs ( Albert and Nick's parts) can appreaciate his genius. He is also the complete package: decent singer, writes his own lyrics, plays instruments, good looking, makes quality music and has personality.

I’m really glad they put out an album. I love the singles “Did my best”is one of my favs but after some years since Virtue it’s nice for a collective of songs to be put out I missed em to be honest and an album is a great way to identify what they up to nowadays. All the songs together kinda take on one whole collective meaning. It’s like they’re saying “Hello” again. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@fredlada1634]

I feel like Julian has been the chef d’orchestre of the music industry for well over 20 years at this point, he’s always been leading the way making timeless songs, making music of the time while evolving himself. The Strokes became legendary but The Voidz is incredible following in the same footsteps of becoming a legendary band, and it’s all due to the fact that Julian renewed himself like a phoenix, i feel like it’s unseen. Not everything about the Voidz is top class but I have a playlist building up and i feel like it’s my favourite music at this point. I don’t know who else managed to stay that relevant for the past 20 years aside from Julian Casablancas who’s definitely not appreciated enough, at least in my eyes

As a huge voidz fan I’m not too crazy about the new album and I don’t think it’s anywhere near the level of their first two, but I gotta admit it’s grown on me. The tunes are mostly solid at their core and the weird production evokes a campy 80’s B movie in a fun retro kinda way. Fingers crossed they’ve got more better material on the way soon tho, russian coney island needs a studio version asap

what a lovely story

[@nickjcast]

I really enjoyed this album, but I do think the lack of cohesion hurts it. I would’ve been fine with them releasing the rest of the songs as singles like they were planning, instead of a compilation. All in all though, it’s still very enjoyable, especially if you’re more into Julian’s style and if you like some fun).
