During an interview with The New York Times for the publication’s “My Ten” series, Billie discussed how The New Abnormal played a frequent role in her daily life and how she would constantly listen to the album while going on bike rides. Eilish says, “When I first found the album, I was going on a lot of bike rides. I would play the whole album on my speaker backpack and ride around random neighborhoods, and it was always sunny and breezy and pretty and green.”
She adds, “Julian Casablancas is just a genius — every time I hear his lyrics I think, ‘I would never think to say that.’ That’s what I love about them — they’re so unexpected, but also relatable.”Billie Eilish is not one to deny her love of Julian Casablancas and The Strokes. When sharing her thoughts on the band’s newest album, the artist shared, “every single song [on the record] is good.”
