Former Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon has announced his third solo album. Entitled Local Honey, the effort is due for release on March 27th through the artist’s own Lesser Known Records and Thirty Tigers.
The follow-up to 2018’s Sleepwalkers, the forthcoming studio LP spans a total of eight songs all produced by Grammy winner Peter Katis (The National, Interpol). Track titles include “When You’re Ready”, “Vincent”, “Lonely for You Only”, and “Hard Feelings”.
In a statement, the New Jersey-bred rocker talked about the timely subject matter explored throughout Local Honey:

“Every single song is about right now. There’s nothing on this record that has to do with the past or even the future, it just has to do with the moments that are presented and things that I’ve learned and I’m finding in my day to day. This record is 100 percent about the day today. It’s not about these glorious dreams or miserable failures, it’s just about life and how I see it.”
Fallon’s views on true love are the focus of the album’s lead single, “You Have Stolen My Heart”, which is streaming below. The track is “my most direct attempt at a love song,” commented the musician. “I wanted a song that wasn’t aware of what it was or wasn’t, it was just true. The rhythm has an almost calypso feel inside of an Americana song.”
Local Honey is already available for pre-order. Fallon and his Howling Weather backing band will support the record with an extensive 2020 world tour that includes stints across North America, Europe, and the UK. Following a pre-sale, concert tickets will be available to the public here this Friday, December 13th at 10:00 a.m. local time.
