Still flying high off their critically praised 2012 major label debut, Handwritten, The Gaslight Anthem have just announced that they have been writing music for a new album that will likely be released at some point in 2014.

The announcement came earlier today via Tumblr in the form of a personal message from the band. According to the foursome, vocalist Brian Fallon has been hard at work in an effort to emulate some of his personal favorites. You can read the post in full below:

“Working on new songs for a new Gaslight Anthem album in 2014. 

Dig it.

Tour’s been great, Brian’s very pleased he hasn’t has many photos of him taken.  He’s busy in the back of the bus writing new songs, something about Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin and Neil Young in the same band.  We don’t know what he’s on about.  We’ll leave him be for now… We haven’t seen him in anything but sunglasses for the last three days.  At least Ray Ban is very pleased. 
More to come, this will updated WAY more frequently now that we’ve stolen it from Brian.  Though he may arise from his tomb of 60’s and 70’s records and write something odd here.  Right On.

Currently, nothing further has been issued regarding this upcoming album, which will impressively be the band’s fifth full-length release since 2007. In the coming days, The Gaslight Anthem will conclude a tour across the pond, before returning stateside at the end of the month to again hit the road, starting in New York.
