The Afghan Whigs have revealed their new album, How Do You Burn?, the band’s first release in five years.
Greg Dulli and co. first got to work on How Do You Burn? in September 2020. Despite the years apart, the band were able to assemble the album remotely, with frontman Dulli, his co-producer Christopher Thorn and drummer Patrick Keeler together in California, bassist John Curley in Cincinnati, guitarist Jon Skibic in New Jersey, and strings man Rick Nelson in New Orleans. “Once we got the system down, we started flying,” Dulli says in a press release.
Dulli also spoke about the album in a recent appearance on Kyle Meredith With…, detailing Thorn’s involvement and the saints and sinners that populate the collection. Listen to the full interview here.
The Afghan Whigs’ 2022 headlining tour kicks off in Minneapolis on September 9th. They’ll hit cities including Brooklyn, D.C., Dallas, and Seattle before wrapping up the US leg in Los Angeles on October 12th. Then it’s off to Europe, where the band will play Madrid, Rome, Glasgow, and more, leading up to one epic closer at London’s KOKO in November. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
In 2020, Dulli shared his first solo album, Random Desire. The Afghan Whigs’ last album was 2017’s In Spades.
