Melodies on Hiatus

Working alongside pop songwriter Simon Wilcox, the Strokes guitarist delivers a cheerfully sprawling double album that feels less like a cohesive statement than a clearinghouse of ideas.

The Strokes guitarist's fifth album is expansive, imaginative and tells a wide sonic story while playing to his strengths.

There’s plenty here to prove that Hammond can still fire out sharp, melodious guitar lines with ease

There’s an innate quality control filter missing.
