Brian Fallon - Local Honey (March 27, 2020) Album • Page 12

Just think how many more will end up being released in the next 10 weeks leading up to it lol. I only listened to the first single and will try to hold back for the rest!

 

Does anyone know what the voice in the background is saying in Little Nightmares? Right after the acoustic bridge, almost counting down to the outro.

 

I always heard the count down, and then "Like that!"

 

Gonna hold off on this one if I can, but glad people seem to like it.

 

Does anyone else get Noah Gundersen vibes from this new track?

 

Listened to the two new songs again tonight. So good. I can’t wait for the rest.

 

Listened to You Have Stolen My Heart and someone in the cafe decided to start cutting onions smh

My only complaint of the song is it doesn't end with "I WATCH YOU SPIN AROUND IN YOUR HIGHEST HEEEEELS, YOU ARE THE BEST ONE, OF THE BEST ONES".

 

Just popping in here because it's been a few months since I've said "Brian is the greatest of all time" and I feel the need to say it again after listening to a bunch of his tunes today.

Can't wait for the album and tour.

Carry on.

Brian talking about Local Honey and just being his good self.

 

about to give this my first listen!

 

Really curious what you think. I think you'll dig some of the love song portions for sure.

 

So jealous of you two for having it. Still avoiding the 2 singles. Kind of, sort of, almost there. Haha.

 

I never listened to the second single and it's the most disciplined I've ever been about anything ever.

 

i've borderline forgotten that this was even coming out - not gonna lie

 

it was a very pleasant listen - I think these days I love his voice partnered with these slower type songs. I think he just keeps getting better as a solo artist.

 

so let me get this straight. NFG leaks months early and we can't even get the noah gundersen acoustic ep 4 days early or Brian Fallon's a few weeks early? Pirates. Get. Your. Priorities. Straight.

 

This article has some quotes that do not make me thing TGA is ever coming back.

“I wanted to be able to do things I couldn’t do”: Brian Fallon on taking guitar lessons again

In 2018, just as Fallon was beginning to conceptualise his next solo move, The Gaslight Anthem regrouped to tour The ’59 Sound in its entirety to celebrate the LP’s 10th birthday. The experience was enormously validating at times but it also steeled his resolve to carry on under his own steam. The run, which featured dates on the east coast of the US, as well as in the UK and Europe, stirred complicated emotions. “It was not fun,” he says, with emphasis.

The Gaslight Anthem didn’t make it as far as the West Coast and turned down serious money to play a big festival show with a band they admired. “I wanted to be doing this other thing,” says Fallon. “If I’d have gone to the West Coast, you might as well have stuck your hand up the back of my shirt and made me a puppet, because that’s what you’d be getting.

 

I firmly believe I was at what would be the last Gaslight Anthem show ever last August. They're probably my favorite band, I don't expect to ever hear from them as that band again. Bring on anything Brian touches though, it's all good.

 

I show the second to last show in jersey and it was amazing. If that’s how they go out I’m okay with it.

 

I don’t cling to any hope that they could reunite but do I completely write it off? No. I think there’s always a chance they do. But in the short-term? Nah.

 

It seriously bums me out to hear that it wasn't fun for him. It was such a blast being part of that and seeing how insanely exuberant the crowd was to hear those songs again. Not quite like anything else I've ever experienced at a show. But I'm sad knowing he wasn't into it.

 

Also, this just makes me angrier about the press they got in the early 2010s, especially that Pitchfork review of Get Hurt. Seems like it really left a mark on him.

 

that album is very bad though
