Julian Casablancas on The Voidz New Album Like All Before You | Apple Music

- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Julian Casablancas and his band The Voidz have released a new album in 2024 titled Like All Before You, marking their third studio effort after a six-year gap.
Julian Casablancas sits down in the studio with Matt Wilkinson to discuss the new album and the decision to switch from focusing only on making singles to creating an album. The two breakdown the bands ability to mix genres with songs like “Square Waves” and create trippy visuals for songs like the “Flexocist” music video featuring Mac Demarco.

#JulianCasablancas #interview #AppleMusic
He’s so open and focused during this interview. After all these years we finally have a Julian interview where he’s coherent. Also the fit went hard I need to see him shop for clothes
id take the incoherent interviews with the coherent albums
100% agree. there’s finally a real person there it feels like ❤
nonsense comment
I mean, quite a lot of those interviews have a drunk julian.
the benefit of wearing shades
This guy can make julian laugh & telling his secret songwriting, singing technique. What an interviewer. Julian so relaxed just like talking to a musicians friend
respect how the interviewer actually has all this knowledge on the voidz and asked good questions, it may seem like a given but usually he never gets a break from interviewers asking the same basic questions and talking about the strokes instead of the voidz
Was thinking the same thing, really got to hear about the Voidz process and that was cool
That's what I needed. An interview with Julian about music!
But I still want more interviews
The way y’all don’t want to give Flexorcist the respect it deserves ….
Bro that’s the only good song lmao
I couldn’t even tell you what that song sounds like and I heard the whole record.
All songs are goated listen to it again
What
Flexorxist is the best song the voidz ever did
i wish they added more arabian twist and twangs like dare I care!! one of the best songs I’ve ever heard, the riff is crazy
omg THIS
And Qyrryus
@@lorir4896such a good song

love or hate the new album, but we can agree that The Voidz are one of the bands out there pushing music boundaries. I rather listen to their failures than to other's successes (and I'm not saying this album is a fail. I didn't like it as much as I liked Tyranny and Virtue after the first listening, but I'm aware that I need to listen to it again a couple of times more before judging). Also... I would love to see Julian performing his solo album live. It has been left aside and there's great stuff there
we in fact can't call agree on that, it was an exercise in masochism to get through it once
Wow yeah I'm here for some Phrazes love - I've hardly ever seen people mention it.
watching this on my break at work.... he's right abt us being obsessive
the way julian feels walking on stage i feel like walking on the street
same
This might be my absolute favorite julian interview ever ❤ don't mind me while I re-watch 500 times
I think great artists like casablanca can't go wrong. He's an amazing artist.
he did go wrong; do you know about this record's cover art?
@@auxvrHEY DID YOU KNOW THE COVER ART HAD GENERATIVE INTELLIGENCE INVOLVED HEY DID KNOW THAT ? ! ? !
@@nathanmaoah4906 yeah, and it's an urgent issue.
Such a good interview!!! He seems so relaxed and chilled out- great questions!
@@MonkeyMagikzyou’re saying this bc you did not see him on jimmy fallon tonight…. that was depressing!
this diva
Love it! Rockstar
the one and only one
I haven’t been able to get enough of the album since the day it came out
Same
me 2
Me three
Really appreciating Julian answering these questions organically
The man is a genius! Love his music . It’s pure art ❤
this is a great interview, wish it was longer.
Why
It is. On apple music
Julian is a great songwriter
especially since the last voidz LP!
He is up there with all the greats in my.opinion. fantastic writer then you realise he wrote all the music to basically all the first two albums as well 😊
I love how confident and comfortable julian seems here, they were flowing and very invested on the conversation ❤
One of the most dynamic interviews of Jules. Thank you for sharing!
Very relaxed interview, great chemistry
14:00 Drake impression is on POINT 😭😭
I had an incredible dream speaking to julian about a few months ago. He said I had a great soundtrack voice. I asked him to do more spoken word 😅
Julian must be the most underrated composer in music. Dude wrote all the lyrics and MUSIC of The Strokes. Any guitarrist learning Srokes songs ( Albert and Nick's parts) can appreaciate his genius. He is also the complete package: decent singer, writes his own lyrics, plays instruments, good looking, makes quality music and has personality.
I’m so happy n grateful to see these new interviews and hearing new music by Julian, bc he’s so good. Even his speaking voice, yes he’s quite correct, we fans are obsessive..
Julian’s drake impression sent me off a cliff lmaooo
What minute?

Great album. Great interview. Can’t wait for studio version of Russian Coney Island!!!
wow best interview ever
I think this is the best interview Julian has ever done, because the interviewer was so concentrated and cool. The one on the fistful of vinyl was also very good but in this one Julian was more paying attention and wasn't THAT tired, so yeah, great job guyz!
Awesome interview. Love the new Album, extremely excited for future music!
i love this band and this man ❤ this mic is bomb. great job matt, you hit him with the russian coney island ❤❤❤
Dude, we've been waiting for you to do more interviews. Thank you for you
Love the new Voidz album, I find myself humming so many of the melodies . The production was really clean
The strokes are one of those amazing bands that really hold up over time.
RUSSIAN CONEY ISLAND
Missing :(
I really thought it would've been in Like All Before You😢
Would’ve helped this album sooooo much
@@Matt_W_Creates_Things so much bro :( i think in a 10track albim u kinda wanna lwft out a intro n an outro
@@Matt_W_Creates_Thingsit’s the moment Julian can get into his deluxe phase
I love his cheetah print and leather vest and shades. So 80's in 2024.
We love u Julian ❤
I’m from Morocco 🇲🇦
People here love u so much ❤
I’m really glad they put out an album. I love the singles “Did my best”is one of my favs but after some years since Virtue it’s nice for a collective of songs to be put out I missed em to be honest and an album is a great way to identify what they up to nowadays. All the songs together kinda take on one whole collective meaning. It’s like they’re saying “Hello” again. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great interview 👏🏻 Matt has always been knowledgable and never asked basic boring questions 👏🏻
opening instantly clicked with me, good interview
He could release literal rat noises and I would still stream bcuz I genuinely love all his work
this is my favorite diva
I love Julian Casablancas
I love the voidz... Some songs do take a few listens but after that I love them all.
Como eu te amo Julian,...
Such a great interview.
genuinely good interview !! thanks for posting
1:30 i feel that from the album. It all just feels like it came out naturally. Feels like a coincidentally complete album.
Exactly! Ppl were upset from hearing the singles but hearing it fully together it all clicked
The way he has written the music for every single instrument for every strokes song…. He is incredible
On the early strokes albums he was the primary writer, but the other members have had a lot more input on the more recent albums
@@Decryptionalistwhich is why they are convoluted compared to the first iteration
@@DennisMHendersoni don’t know if you know how to use that word lol. Newer strokes stuff also gave then a grammy

Loveee You Julian, you are a smoke show .
And your music is … my favorite music .
Juliaaannn I love you
Love the new album..i certainly don't have a problem with it..
I dont know anyone who looks as good as him in a mullet!
He's the only man to pull off a mullet
Albert Hammond Jr rocked an exquisite curly mullet last year (Melodies On Hiatus era) and that was pretty hard to beat.
Loved the new album. It’s the best yet
i wouldnt go that far but its not as bad as "is this it fans" make it out to be
That walking leg thing happens to me too, Julian! Usually, when I feel like I'm being watched. Wild to hear you mention that. You're real af.
I feel like Julian has been the chef d’orchestre of the music industry for well over 20 years at this point, he’s always been leading the way making timeless songs, making music of the time while evolving himself. The Strokes became legendary but The Voidz is incredible following in the same footsteps of becoming a legendary band, and it’s all due to the fact that Julian renewed himself like a phoenix, i feel like it’s unseen. Not everything about the Voidz is top class but I have a playlist building up and i feel like it’s my favourite music at this point.
I don’t know who else managed to stay that relevant for the past 20 years aside from Julian Casablancas who’s definitely not appreciated enough, at least in my eyes
God I love this man
The songs i didnt hear until the album are incredible. How can you be a fan of an artist if you want your expectation to dictate their art? Its not sonic the hedgehog 😂
I like the new record :-)
I love it!!
Wasn’t for me, but glad you got some enjoyment out of it.
@@chan_martinwhen something like this follows up a masterpiece like Virtue, it’s atrocious in comparison for sure. But the fact they spent 6 years just to release unfinished jam sessions and playing around with synths… brutal
Go the Voidz!!!
Matt ❤
Yes your music speaks to me . Will look at the Voidz
I pray for this man..
@@billblaze752 he’s got a pair of hams on him
God have mercy on us all!
@@brazilian_orthodox I can side with that
I did enjoy the new album (well most of it) but it does sounds tame, especially compare to their previous works
I love this man sm 🖤
Jules ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
pretty sick interview ngl
The whole album Is 🔥🔥
😎👍🏼
I forget every one of my dreams unless it's a song I hear in the dream then I write when I wake up. Best songs I've written are from dreams or melodies that just seem to fall out of thin air.
julian casablancas my king
Thank you Apple Music ❤️❤️
Great interview
That was a solid drake impression
As a huge voidz fan I’m not too crazy about the new album and I don’t think it’s anywhere near the level of their first two, but I gotta admit it’s grown on me. The tunes are mostly solid at their core and the weird production evokes a campy 80’s B movie in a fun retro kinda way. Fingers crossed they’ve got more better material on the way soon tho, russian coney island needs a studio version asap
Happy ending is my favorite song
RUSSIAN CONEY ISLAND MENTIONED 😳
I feel like they released all the good songs first, and waited a year, then released the rest
the album is pretty bad. the mix is terrible. songs will be terrible for 2/3 of the duration and then the nice idea comes. very unfocused album
Square wave, spectral analysis, and WWTTOTBE are great though
@@user-fp8pv2jp9u Yeah
@@user-fp8pv2jp9uhalf decent at best
This album sounds like unfinished demos. I don’t understand the love for this album.
10:30 That’s nuts that the interviewer knows what Russian Coney Island is and actually asked him about it. Insane
I love the strokes baby
Julian Casablancas is in the Apple Podkart building♪ dresses like The German Dinner Lady, but still...all the ladies and gents showed up to the office. This is still Greatest Of All Time™️®︎©️ because he's...been asked to collaborate with Daft Punk, Sparklehorse...soundtrack to Vinyl...BTW he's still trapped in 1982-88. The Strokes own 'Is This It' and Julian wrote 'Phrazes For The Young' a genius LP.
Matt Wilkinson is the right guy*, talks and demeanor different to bantering with Noel & Liam♪
Apple Music trying to be so serious about it , while Julian shows up in leopard print and leather 🖤
12:47 the legs and my muscles ♪♪
I got Tyranny instantly. It's still the best album they've made. It's amazing.
Thank god someone asked about Russian Coney Island
Greatest singer-songwriter of the 21st century so far and it’s not close.
Sweet.
Brilliant 👏 👏 my favorite song on this album is Prophecy of the Dragon ❤
I wonder if Dora the Explorer will end up in the recorded Russian Coney Island version
17:15 thats dope. That is a smart process
Hey can we get Matt Wilkinson back on Apple Music Radio in the US?!?
Legend 🖤
Man I love this album so much
Great album❤
Anyone else want the Venice show “Outro” to show up at some point?
Its at the end of did my best and eternal tao
2.0
Love your show @BEASTPATRON.
I really enjoyed this album, but I do think the lack of cohesion hurts it. I would’ve been fine with them releasing the rest of the songs as singles like they were planning, instead of a compilation. All in all though, it’s still very enjoyable, especially if you’re more into Julian’s style and if you like some fun).
I had a neighbor who loved me and she loved the strokes, particularly Julian. Anyways, she blew me regularly for a year and eventually cut my name in her arm. Her mom showed up at my door in the rain looking for her. I told her I didn’t know where she was.
what a lovely story
I was at the Atlanta show with the Chipmunk voice lol. Still went crazy
Square wave, spectral analysis, 7 horses, all the same, flexorcist
I mean wow
My lord that outfit is amazing
