{"product_id":"the-afghan-whigs_how-do-you-burn_2024_uni","title":"How Do You Burn?","description":"\"'How Do You Burn?' is the ninth studio album from The Afghan Whigs. The band is at the peak of their powers, making the most exhilarating music of their lives. The album is virile, ready for action, and features frontman Greg Dulli, as boastful, enigmatic, and darkly charismatic as ever, singing like a man possessed. 'How Do You Burn?', the first Afghan Whigs album in 5 years, pressed on 180-gram clear vinyl and CD. Includes instant gratification tracks \"The Getaway\" and \"I'll Make You See God\" delivered via email upon purchase completion. The Afghan Whigs announce their first studio album in five years, How Do You Burn?, due for release on September 9, 2022, via Royal Cream\/BMG. 'How Do You Burn?', their ninth album overall and following the pair of widely acclaimed records they’ve made previously since their 2012 regrouping, 'Do to the Beast' (2014) and 'In Spades' (2017). 'How Do You Burn?' picks up the baton from each of those records and propels it towards the horizon. Work on it commenced in September 2020 – the COVID pandemic having forced Whigs’ singer-songwriter Greg Dulli to abandon touring plans for his much-praised solo album, 'Random Desire' – and continued over the next 14 months. The global pandemic also dictated that the band largely record apart and in different locations from one another: Dulli, co-producer Christopher Thorn and drummer Patrick Keeler together in California; bassist John Curley, guitarist Jon Skibic, and strings man Rick Nelson setting up and engineering their own parts in Cincinnati, New Jersey, and New Orleans, respectively. For its supporting cast, Dulli called on 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 here, singing backup vocals on two tracks. \"It was Mark who named the album,\" Dulli noted. Susan Marshall, who sang on the 1965 Whigs album, returns to the fray for \"Catch A Colt\", one of the album’s most outstanding tracks, lithe like the Rolling Stones of their \"Some Girls\" era 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, wall-of-sound vocals to both the plunging, voodoo blues of \"Jyja\" and the audacious 'Take Me There', transforming the latter, Dulli says, \"into this wild gospel thing. We sing together really well, but what Van does in terms of the production… it’s relentless.\" Then there’s Marcy Mays, lead singer of \"My Curse\", the torch song highlight of the seminal 1993 album 'Gentlemen', 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,\" Dulli says. \"Nobody sounds like her; she has an incredibly unique, emotional, and evocative voice. The Afghan Whigs – Dulli, Curley, Nelson, Keeler, and with Christopher Thorn now joining the band on guitar – will be taking 'How Do You Burn?' on the road. Beyond that, Dulli says, \"their future is gloriously wide open.\"","brand":"The Afghan Whigs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55350895640920,"sku":null,"price":20241025.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/4050538773354.jpg?v=1765908509","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/the-afghan-whigs_how-do-you-burn_2024_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
