Albert Hammond, Jr. AHJ

The Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. is set to release a solo EP 'AHJ' on October 8.

The five-track release will come out on bandmate Julian Casablancas' Cult Records and follows his 2006 debut album 'Yours to Keep' and 2008's '¿Cómo Te Llama?'. Speaking about the release, Hammond Jr. said: "It’s a combination of both previous recordings, which in turn makes it feel like it’s the best material that I’ve made so far."

The new release was produced, engineered and mixed by Gus Oberg and recorded in Hammond Jr.'s own studios, in Manhattan and upstate New York. "I've been working with him since my first solo project, after we met and became best friends," said Hammond Jr. of Oberg. "We get along and we understand each other musically, so everything just flows."
