The Strokes have previewed their upcoming EP Future Past Present.

It’s the band’s first release since their 2013 album Comedown Machine, and is due out on June 3. Songs they’ve made available to stream include Oblivius, Drag Queen and Threat Of Joy. They can be heard on Spotify.

In a video interview shared by their record label, drummer Fab Moretti says: “One thing that I love about being in this band is that I feel like I’m constantly surprised and excited to see what comes up next. One thing that I’ve learnt from working with other people every once in a while, is that I don’t have the level of trust that I have with them with anybody else.”

Future Present Past can be pre-ordered via Cult Records. It can also be pre-ordered digitally on iTunes and Amazon.
