Back in April, Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn appeared on an episode of the Minnesota Public Radio program Wits playing some new songs that appeared to be harbingers of a new solo record. Now Finn has confirmed this via his own Tumblr, which Pitchfork recently discovered. Finn posted the following on his new blog over the weekend: "I'm in Austin TX for a few weeks. Making a record. Staying in a friend's guest house. Got here yesterday. So far so good. I'll be tracking the progress here."
