While busy on the road in support of his solo album, Julian Casablancas said The Strokes are working “night and day” on their fourth album.

He told NYmag.com that the band is “different than before,” with all five members coming together as a group in a more harmonious manner.

“It’s night and day now,” he said. “Everyone is working as a group, ‘Let’s do it! Go team!’ Which is amazing. Which is what I wanted since day one. But that’s only happening now. Literally now.”

Before, Casablancas said, “We split the money six ways,” he explained (manager Ryan Gentles is the sixth recipient), “but we didn’t split the work.” Part of the problem had to do with each person’s workload.

So far, so good. “If I make it superclear why I was unhappy in the past, it might just rehash things that should have been left alone. I think we’re fulfilling the promise of what we said we were: actually being a unit that really works on everything,” he said.
