Soma (live in Iceland) — The Strokes

A frantic, adrenaline-fueled burst of early-2000s rock energy.

Moments Worth Listening For

The split-second of raw crowd noise that gets instantly cut off by the opening drum roll.

Julian Casablancas's voice cracking slightly under strain during the final chorus, stripping away his usual cool detachment.

The sharp, metallic bite of the twin guitars interlocking during the bridge, sounding louder and more abrasive than the studio cut.
