Little Joy at Stereo Preview

Last year’s The Next Time Around brought the number of solo-Strokes releases to three, and like Albert Hammond Jr’s two pop treats, Little Joy offer plenty to keep folks content while Fabrizio Moretti’s more famous band continue to keep their heads low. Named, appropriately, after a trashy-but-hip cocktail bar on Sunset Boulevard, the Strokes drummer, along with his oddly named girlfriend Binki Shapiro and Rio rocker Rodrigo Amarante will bring their laidback summery sound to a sub-zero Glasgow in the middle of January. With mellow melodies and sweetly sung harmonies, it promises to be the perfect antidote to the post-festive comedown. [Chris Buckle]
