Not the Afghan Whigs, oh no...



The Twilight Singers - Blackberry Belle

So let me get this one right: Greg Dulli, of Afghan Whigs fame, has this new band called The Twilight Singers, he's already released one album called Twilight as them. That album was produced by the electronic group Fila Brazilia, the lead vocal duties were split between 3 or 4 vocalists, and had less guitars than the Whigs. On this new Afghan Whigs album Dulli has ditched Fila Brazilia, and the other vocalists, and has put the guitars back... Hold On! This is basically a new Afghan Whigs album, as such should be treated with awe and respect. I've always been a fan of Dulli's work with his previous band, I don't think there is anyone else around who can make the life of a smooth bad assed mother fucker so... touching. The last song is especially good, a duet with Mark Lanegan - it rocks like a bastard, but at the same time is a bit country - very nice.
