Tom Gabel has posted a series of studio updates as he continues work on his debut solo EP, Heart Burns. Based on his plans, the album is expected to be mixed and mastered with the artwork completed by the end of this week. The entries also reveal guest appearances by Chuck Ragan and Matt Skiba, and production by Butch Vig and Billy Bush. Along with revealing some song titles like “100 Years Of War,” “Anna Is A Stool Pigeon,” “Conceptual Paths,” “Cowards Sing At Night,” “Harsh Realms” and “Random Hearts,” Gabel mentions a cover of The Replacements song “Here Comes A Regular” for an upcoming 50 Anniversary compilation Warner is preparing.
Though some early Against Me! material was not dramatically different from solo recordings, Tom muses over whether to release the music under his own name or through the band:
I feel conflicted as to whether I should release these songs under the name Against Me! as planned, under a new name, or under my given name. I’ve never liked my name.
Tom also mentions plans to record a proper new Against Me! record next year.
