Julian is born in New York in August 23, 1978. As The Strokes' principal songwriter, he has the greatest impact on their sound and has been known to be extremely meticulous with it. While Casablancas composes on a variety of instruments, he uses the keyboard to write complex arrangements that he later transposes to fit The Strokes' guitar-driven lineup.

Opener "Out of the Blue" has Julian reeling off a list of downers-- sadness, bitterness, anger, vengeance-- before settling with premature nostalgia: "All that I can do is sing a song of faded glory," he admits. Meanwhile, "Left & Right in the Dark" is even more dire as the singer offers lines like, "We're in a race against time, and time might be winning," before imploring the world at large to "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Here's another Wilde phrase worth re-reading: "Dullness is the coming of age of seriousness (Pitchfork)." (i totally agree with this opinion)
for me this island is totally away from the Strokes basic music where the band has focusing more on the guitar reef and also drum sound. this album is more to electronic sound. i can tell u that, all the song in this album is superb and delicious. it easy to be digest by everyone eye.
so cheer and let have some fun.
