I’ll summarize the latest publicly available information on The Strokes and the song Under Cover of Darkness.
Direct answer:
- There is no recent new release or high-profile update about The Strokes or the track Under Cover of Darkness beyond historical context around the Angles era (2011). The most current widely cited material remains from 2011 regarding its release and chart performance.
Context and highlights (from sources up to 2025):
- Under Cover of Darkness was released as the lead single from The Strokes’ 2011 album Angles, with a 48-hour free download window on the band’s site and a later digital/iTunes release .
- The track was accompanied by a music video released in early 2011, and it was part of a push that marked the band’s return after a five-year hiatus since their 2006 album First Impressions of Earth .
- The single charted modestly, reaching the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and remaining on several outlets’ coverage through early 2011. Wikipedia notes its chart performance among the band’s releases .
- In 2025, coverage around Under Cover of Darkness is minimal; some outlets referenced the video and live performances from the Angles era, but there hasn’t been a confirmed new release or official reissue of the song in recent years .
