Ready to be initiated into The Strokes inner circle? Well thanks to Lesser Gods fans can do just that with an intimate photo narrative of the band in ‘The Strokes: The First Ten Years’. This book is the first authorized visual record featuring hundreds of images from their early years from photographer Cody Smyth, who describes the endeavor as “a peerless window into the group through the lens of a close friend who was there before it even began.“ There’s also a special introduction courtesy of iconic photographer Mick Rock, aka “The Man Who Shot the Seventies.”
Handsomely housed in an exceptional package that combines premium art paper for the photography and a textured stock for the text sections, including a special dust jacket design, the book features hundreds of color and black and white images of the band in public and in private. A truly personal look at the rise of The Strokes—one of the biggest and most enduring bands in the world.
