Label: Riko

Genre: Indie Rock

Comments: Comprised of The Strokes' bassist Nikolai (get it? Nickel Eye) Fraiture and whoever else he feels like bringing in to guest star on a song, this solo effort was surprisingly good. Nikel Eye covers most of The Strokes' influences, but in a slightly more somber tone, and even branches off into slower British Invasion inspired songs.
