‘¿Cómo Te Llama?’ is the new album from Albert Hammond, Jr.
Following his feted 2006 solo debut ‘Yours To Keep,’ Albert and cohorts Matt Romano (drums), Marc Philippe Eskenazi (guitars/keyboards) and Josh Lattanzi (bass) return with the new album. (which translates to ‘What’s Your Name’ if your Spanish is a little rusty.)
Set for release on July 8th by RCA Black Seal Records in North America and July 7th by Rough Trade Records in the rest of the world, the album is scheduled to be released digitally through iTunes at some point in June.
Recorded over 5 weeks in Electric Lady Studios in NYC with engineer Gus Oberg, the album was produced by Albert, with help by Gus and Matt, both receiving co-producing credits.
With touring already being penciled in for this summer and through the end of the year, the band are in exuberant spirits, as Albert reveals; “Our goal is to tour this album every where we can, get into those cracks and fill them up with music!”
The album comes in addition to Albert's role in The Strokes - he is not leaving the band.
-Debut album "YOURS TO KEEP" IS AVAILABLE NOW!
