Brian Fallon of New Jersey rockers ‘Gaslight Anthem’ has revealed in a blog that alongside a new Gaslight Anthem record, he will be working on a solo album.
Having previously dismissed any suggestions of a solo album, Fallon seems to have had a change of heart and has decided a solo album would be needed to channel new material superfluous to the needs of Gaslight Anthem.
Fallon, writing on his website on 25th January, said:
“There’s no termoil (sic) or anything with Gaslight, we’re going to be writing too, but I’m sure we’re gonna need a breather after this year of touring before we go in to make our next record. So since I can’t sit still, I’m gonna make another record."
The statement would suggest that Fallon’s previous side project with Gaslight Anthem’s guitar tech, Ian Perkins, will not be releasing a follow up to ‘Elsie’ this year as hoped.
A solo album is a new direction for Fallon and seems to have been prompted not only by the imminent break in touring but by changes in his private life.
“I’ve had some really amazing things happen and some really terrible things in the last couple months. I’m definitely on a new page, and I have to start there.”
While there are no dates mentioned for release, Fallon predicts that the record could be completed “sometime this year”, and revealed that he has already started writing songs for it.
