The wait is finally over, folks! Walton Goggins has joined forces with US indie legends The Strokes in a music video that's got everyone talking - 'Going Shopping', the lead single from their highly-anticipated album 'Reality Awaits'!
In a nod to Paul Simon's 1986 classic 'You Can Call Me Al', Walton Goggins has brought his trademark swagger to the band's latest offering. The visuals are as slick as a well-executed alley oop, with Goggins and the lads (Julian Casablancas, Fab Moretti, Albert Hammond Jr., Nikolai Fraiture, and Nick Valensi) trading lines like a perfectly timed passing move. And let's be honest, who wouldn't want to lip-sync along to 'Going Shopping' after that?
Goggins himself was over the moon about the collaboration, calling it an "honour" on Instagram, and we can see why - this is one of those moments where worlds collide in the most glorious way. The actor's enthusiasm for the album was clear too, praising 'Reality Awaits' as "so gatdamn special". We couldn't agree more!
But what's even better than the video? The fact that The Strokes are hitting our shores with their first full UK and Ireland headline tour in over 20 years! Get ready for a summer of indie bliss, folks - they'll be taking to stages across the globe, including London's O2 arena. With support acts like Thundercat, Cage the Elephant, and Fat White Family getting the party started, it's going to be one wild ride!
Mark your calendars, because 'Reality Awaits' drops on 24th July - just in time for those summer vibes! And with this video as a sneak peek into what's to come, we can barely contain our excitement. Bring it on, The Strokes!
