The Strokes teased us with a 30 second snippet of their new single ‘Under Cover of Darkness’ earlier in the week, and as of 6:30 this morning they’re letting you download the single for free from their website. The catch is, they’re only doing it for 48 hours, so you’ll need to get in quick.

It’s the first single from them since they put out the distinctly underwhelming First Impressions of Earth in 2006 and it’s your chance to judge whether they’ve still got the same magic that set the world on fire with the release of their debut album Is This It? in 2001.
