Brian Fallon Shares First Video From New Album
By: Emily Bruno Dec. 01, 2017
Brian Fallon has released the video for the first single, "Forget Me Not," from his forthcoming new album, SLEEPWALKERS, out February 9 on Island Records. The video is a performance clip shot in a small club setting showing the power and intimacy of Fallon's relationship with his fans.
"Forget Me Not" is available now on all DSPs and fans can pre-order a physical copy of SLEEPWALKERS only at the Official Brian Fallon Store, with all fan pre-orders receiving exclusive pre-sale access to Fallon's upcoming 2018 North American tour.
Fallon - accompanied by his high-energy backing band, The Howling Weather - will celebrate the release of SLEEPWALKERS with the tour, set to get underway March 27th at Terminal West in Atlanta and then continue through late May. Fallon and The Howling Weather also recently unveiled their 2018 European headline tour, supported by special guest Dave Hause and scheduled for stops in the UK, Belgium, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Ireland through February and March. The full itinerary is below. For complete details and ticket information, please visit: thebrianfallon.tumblr.com/live.
SLEEPWALKERS sees Brian Fallon once again pushing timeless rock 'n' roll into the modern era, recasting British Invasion rock, first generation UK punk, and American pop and soul into a near irresistible sound he's dubbed - with a nod and a wink towards The Who - as "Heavy R&B." Recorded earlier this year at New Orleans' Parlor Recording Studio with producer Ted Hutt - the man behind the board for The Gaslight Anthem's breakthrough, THE '59 SOUND - the album is yet another sterling example of Fallon's always adventurous artistry, this time fueled by the New Jersey-based tunesmith's interest in the Vox Continental, the distinctive organ used by favorite artists spanning The Animals and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to The Specials and Elvis Costello and the Attractions. As emotionally powerful as it is musically exultant,
SLEEPWALKERS is Brian Fallon at the very top of his game, now as ever pushing and kicking the rock 'n' soul sounds he grew up on into the future.
Known far and wide as singer/guitarist of The Gaslight Anthem, as well as such outfits as The Horrible Crowes and Molly & The Zombies, Fallon made his solo debut with 2015's masterful PAINKILLERS. The album - which includes the hit singles, "A Wonderful Life" and "Painkillers" - drew widespread critical applause upon its release, with Entertainment Weekly acclaiming Fallon as "a first-rate songwriter with a dozen tunes that wax philosophical about love and the human condition - the dude's like a modern day Nietzsche with a sleeve tattoo."
