The Gaslight Anthem History Books (Vinyl) (UK IMPORT)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: History BooksCondition: NewFormat: VinylDescription: Like so many of the most essential rock bands, The Gaslight Anthem have a rare gift for finding glory in the inescapable pain of being alive. On their new album History Books-their first new music in over nine years-the New Jersey-bred four-piece bring their soulful breed of punk to ten thrilling songs exploring everything from mortality to mental illness to the more precarious dimensions of human connection. In the tradition of their seminal sophomore album The '59 Sound, The Gaslight Anthem's sixth full-length ultimately achieves of the tremendous feat of hitting every raw nerve while endlessly inspiring wildly triumphant singing-along. "A lot of this record is questioning all the bad stuff we see in the world and the difficult things we go through in life, and asking how to deal with it," says vocalist/guitarist Brian Fallon, whose bandmates include drummer Benny Horowitz, bassist Alex Levine, and lead guitarist Alex Rosamilia. "I think the answer is that we're all in this together and that somehow makes it okay, even when it's anything but easy. The main message of the album is empathy." The first release from their own Rich Mahogany Recordings (a label distributed via Thirty Tigers), History Books finds The Gaslight Anthem working with acclaimed producer/engineer Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Death Cab for Cutie) and recording at his Bridgeport, CT-based Tarquin Studios. Featuring a guest appearance from longtime Gaslight Anthem champion Bruce Springsteen, History Books matches its unfussy yet gracefully crafted sound with the force-of-nature energy that's defined the band since getting their start playing basement shows back in the mid-aughts. "Making this album clarified that we want to keep doing what we've always done-because no one else can do it in quite the same way, and that's something I've started to become very proud of," says Fallon. "At the end of the day it's just rock-and-roll music, but I really do believe it can have a positive impact on people's lives. I think there's so much beauty and magic in that."Artist: The Gaslight AnthemNo Of Discs: 1Country/Region of Manufacture: USARecord Label: Rich Mahogany RecordingsEAN: 0691835754222 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
