The Strokes are planning to record the follow-up to 2006's First Impressions Of Earth early next year.
Bassist Nikolai Fraiture confirmed the New York five-piece would begin work on their fourth album in February 2009.
He told BBC Radio 1: "We are looking at going into the studio in February now and getting back to being a band again."
The Strokes went on hiatus after finishing their gruelling tour in support of their last album, with Nikolai, Fab Moretti and Albert Hammond Jr all involving themselves in solo projects.
Nickolai added: "I'm excited about moving on from this phase and using all the experience we have from our [solo] projects for our fourth album.
"Doing stuff like this is necessary for us because we've been in the same band for so long. It will definitely bring something more interesting to the next record." Source: Ananova
