In a recent interview with Express Night Out, Gaslight Anthem vocalist Brian Fallon sheds announces the title of the band’s upcoming full-length album American Slang. Brian also discusses everything from what fans can expect from the album to growing up in Jersey and the band’s rise to fame.
In regards to the them of the new album compared to the last Brian states:
“I’ve kind of abandoned all of that,” said Fallon. “There are no names and none of the old stuff. I feel like I’ve said a lot of what I had to say about that old stuff. I’m moving on. … [‘American Slang’] is a hyper-literal album. These stories are coming out of my life and the reflections on the things I’ve gotten as I’ve gotten older. It’s more autobiographical, definitely more direct. Not so shrouded in mystery. I’m not trying to confuse anyone with a trail of images on this one.”
“I think I have a better focus on what to say to people. Now, I have a reason to tell people things, instead of crying on someone’s shoulder. I just kind of got ahead on it [life], and I know where it’s going.”
