Info for How Do You Burn?

Afghan Whigs are back with their first studio album in five years, 'How Do You Know?'

In an unfortunately fortunate turn of events, the pandemic forced Afghan Whigs’ frontman Greg Dulli to cancel his solo tour in 2020, remain in California and instead focus on the creation of the imminent How Do You Burn?, the Whigs’ first studio album in five years.

Since reuniting in 2012, the band has released two very well-received records, Do to the Beast (2014) and In Spades (2017), with How Do You Burn? marking the ensemble’s ninth official album.

For his supporting cast, Dulli called upon several serial collaborators including the late Mark Lanegan, who was a regular in Dulli’s Twilight Singers, a partner in The Gutter Twins and a close friend. Lanegan makes his Afghan Whigs debut singing backup vocals on two tracks. “It was Mark who named the album,” Dulli remarked.

Susan Marshall, who sang on the Whigs album 1965, returns to the fray for “Catch A Colt,”one of the album’s standout tracks, loose-limbed like ‘Some Girls’-era Rolling Stones and with the liquid polyrhythms of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Tusk’.

The multi-talented Van Hunt, who toured with the Whigs in 2012 and guested on ‘Do to the Beast’, brings his stacked-up, wall-of-sound vocals to both the plunging, voodoo-blues of ‘Jyja’ and the audacious ‘Take Me There’, transforming the latter, says Dulli, “into this feral gospel song. We sing really well together, but what Van does production-wise… it’s unrelenting.”

Then there’s Marcy Mays, lead vocalist on ‘My Curse’, the torch-song highlight of 1993’s seminal ‘Gentlemen’ album, reprising her role here on the celestial ‘Domino and Jimmy’, playing Stevie Nicks to Dulli’s Lindsey Buckingham. “I wrote that song with Marcy in mind,” says Dulli. “No-one sounds like her; she’s got an incredibly unique, emotional and evocative voice.”

The album is likely to be even more expansive in genre than the Whig’s previous discography, as press release statements hint at notes of “voodoo-blues” and “feral gospel.”
