Standing in a Light Field

The new Strokes (probable) single, Juicebox, leaked. I really, really like it. It's not my favorite Strokes song, and probably not in the top 10; but it's totally different (which is nice) than anything else they've done. If this is indicative of First Impressions of Earth then I am going to be really happy. A lot of things I read have said that this owes a debt to Casablancas' early love of Pearl Jam but it reminds me more of 'Planet of Sound' by the Pixies (which is also a terrific song).

Here are a couple of places to download it from, courtesy of Stereogum.com:

Enjoy!

the best thing about the song is that a lot of people will hate it.
if that makes any sense. at all.
the bass line intro is f 'ed up at first, but it will definitely have people talking either way.
peace
