On their new album '\u003cem\u003eHistory Books\u003c\/em\u003e'—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 \u003cem\u003eThe ’59 Sound\u003c\/em\u003e, The Gaslight Anthem’s sixth full-length ultimately achieves the tremendous feat of hitting every raw nerve while endlessly inspiring wildly triumphant singing-along.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“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 \u003cstrong\u003eBrian Fallon\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose bandmates include drummer \u003cstrong\u003eBenny Horowitz\u003c\/strong\u003e, bassist \u003cstrong\u003eAlex Levine\u003c\/strong\u003e, and lead guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eAlex Rosamilia\u003c\/strong\u003e. “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.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first release from their own \u003cstrong\u003eRich Mahogany Recordings\u003c\/strong\u003e (a label distributed via \u003cstrong\u003eThirty Tigers\u003c\/strong\u003e), History Books finds The Gaslight Anthem working with acclaimed producer\/engineer \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Katis\u003c\/strong\u003e (The National, Interpol, Death Cab for Cutie) and recording at his Bridgeport, CT-based Tarquin Studios.

I think there’s so much beauty and magic in that.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rich Mahogany Recordings","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46940900000089,"sku":"SDZ-36151","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/The_Gaslight_Anthem_-_History_Books.jpg?v=1689904902","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/the-gaslight-anthem-history-books","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
