The Gaslight Anthem To Start Work On New Album
The band reveal they're heading back to New York in November...
The Gaslight Anthem have revealed that they're all set to start work on the follow-up to "The '59 Sound"... once they've got their summer touring schedule out of the way. Speaking to Xfm at last weekend's Latitude festival, bassist Alex Levine explained that they didn't have a clear-cut vision of what the new material would sound like, yet.
"We really haven't sat down and stewed ideas around so much," Levine told Xfm's Sunta. "But this band has been a natural progression, from album to album, song to song, so I guess we'll see how the writing process goes."
However, The Anthem were keen to make the recording of the new record a more formal experience. "We're coming back [to the UK] at the beginning of November for about a week or so, then we're going home and recording for about four months. The last album was written mostly on the road, but for thhis one we're gonna concentrate, and record it in New York.
"We're gonna wake up about 9 o'clock, head off to the practice area, work for about six hours and then go home. It's gonna be a change of pace, that's for sure."
