Title: Afghan Wigs – 1965: Expanded Edition Format: Coloured Vinyl Label: Cat Num: MOVLP149 Barcode: 8719262021969
Release date: March 11th 2022
American rock band Afghan Whigs rose up around the grunge
movement, evolving to incorporate more R&B and soul influences into
their sound and image. Songwriter and frontman Greg Dulli’s lyrics are
filled with dark images of romantic obsession. They’re known to play
with such restraint, letting musical tension build until it can do nothing
other than explode. Dulli in his finest voice can move from desperate
screams to a quiet sinister crooning at the turn of a chord.
1965 is the name of their sixth album originally released in 1998, it was
their last album before the reunion in 2012. The album was produced
by Daniel Lanois, who also worked with artists including Bob Dylan,
Neil Young and Peter Gabriel. Its cover photograph shows astronaut
Ed White on the first American space-walk as part of the Gemini 4 flight
which took place in – you guessed it – 1965.
This expanded version of 1965 includes a bonus disc featuring no
less than 7 bonus tracks. It is available as a limited edition of 3000
individually numbered copies on blue, black & white marbled vinyl and
contains an 8-page booklet.
