History Books by The Gaslight Anthem

History Books, the Gaslight Anthem's sixth studio album, landed on October 27, 2023, via Rich Mahogany Records and Thirty Tigers, their first album of new songs in nine years. The New Brunswick, New Jersey band had called an indefinite hiatus in 2015, broke it only for a round of shows marking The '59 Sound's 10th birthday, then came back full-time in March 2022 and spent the year on a world tour.
Peter Katis produced, and the classic four are all here: Brian Fallon singing and playing guitar, Alex Rosamilia on lead guitar, Alex Levine on bass and Benny Horowitz on drums. The sound is grown-up heartland punk, less barroom sprint than long look back, with Fallon's rasp weathered and the guitars ringing wide. The title track and "Positive Charge" carried it onto the countdowns, and both feel like a band that had missed each other.
