Sleepwalkers (Brian Fallon album)

Sleepwalkers is the second solo album by Brian Fallon, singer/guitarist of American rock band the Gaslight Anthem. It was released on February 9, 2018, through Island Records. The album peaked at #42 on the Billboard 200 chart and received "generally favorable reviews" from critics.

Background

"Sleepwalkers" is notably closer to the Rock and roll sound of the Gaslight Anthem than his previous folk-influenced solo album "Painkillers." In an interview with RollingStone, Fallon said “even though it’s not necessarily [a Gaslight Anthem album], one-fourth of the band’s sound is always whatever I brought to the table. That’s mine, in anything that I do. It’d be like saying, ‘OK, I’m not going to use my left arm,'” says Fallon. “I’m just going to embrace everything I do and not hold anything back, because I like this sound.”

Reception

Sleepwalkers received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 69, based on 11 professional reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". In a positive review Paste Magazine observed that "Fallon has a knack for crafting sturdy tunes that border on anthemic, and every chorus has fist-pumping potential."
