THE
GASLIGHT ANTHEM
Biloxi
Parish
From:
Handwritten
Released:
July 24
In 2012,
The Gaslight Anthem took a long-overdue leap to the big time;
Handwritten is their first album on a major label, produced by
rock powerhouse producer Brendan O'Brien. And its first single, the
raucous and heartfelt “45”, was a fitting introduction to
the masses. It packs in the workmanlike chops the band has become
known for alongside what is arguably the biggest, earworm-worthy
chorus they've ever penned. It's also a great way to start off
Handwritten, an album that encapsulates their overall sound
and then transcends it thanks to O'Brien's masterful production. The
album's prime example is Biloxi Parish, a song that starts off
unassuming enough, then piles on hook after hook after hook until you
have no choice but to tap out to its force.
