One Way Trigger

A decade after kicking off the revival of early '70s garage rock, The Strokes are plunging further into the world of synthesizers that began in the '80s.

The New York City band -- who is working on their fifth studio album -- has dropped a new single, "One Way Trigger," which marries crunching guitars, looping rhythms and singer Julian Casablancas' trademark voice with a whole lot of MIDI.

The middle of the past decade saw synth rock brought back by bands such as The Killers (and the return of original purveyors such as New Order), though it has somewhat fallen by the wayside in recent years. The Strokes played with it a bit on 2011's Angles, and now they've jumped full-tilt into the electronic abyss.

The Modern Age

KILLING LIES

Say a prayer now

Don’t be scared now

You don’t want trouble

Well we might get some.

We might get some,

It’s troublesome.

But don’t you worry

You can't help me...

Killing lies, killing lies,

Killing lies, killing lies

First you're worried

Then you're hurried

Don’t think that everything

is gonna stay the same

That’s impossible.

Before I let you go

Let me look at you

Don’t you worry

You will help me

Killing lies, killing lies

Killing lies, killing lies

Oh yes I noticed you

You are a friend of mine

Oh yes I noticed you

You are a friend of mine
