The Afghan Whigs
Greg Dulli moved the group into a grimy, soul-drenched territory, moving away from previous grunge styles. The record draws heavily from their love for Motown, resulting in a polished and cinematic aesthetic.
Released at the end of the nineties, the album captures a transformation from basement rock to a more sophisticated delivery. The humid, layered production supports the band's transition into velvet-clad storytellers, maintaining their alternative roots while fully embracing an ambitious stylistic shift.
