The hauntingly beautiful In Spades – the Afghan Whigs’ follow-up to their 2014 ‘comeback’ album Do to the Beast – is being released today on CD, vinyl, and as a download from legendary indie label Sub Pop Records, the band’s first home way back in the ‘80s. If you’re a fan of Whigs’ frontman Greg Dulli and/or his other great band, the Twilight Singers, you’re going to find a lot to like about In Spades; the initial singles released by Sub Pop, including “Demon In Profile” and “Oriole,” are thick on atmosphere, with Dulli’s anguished vocals puncturing through the dense fog of lush instrumentation like a dagger of pure white light.

After a lengthy summer tour with opener Ed Harcourt that begins in late May in the U.K. and sojourns across the European continent with stops in some 17 countries, including Germany, Italy, Denmark, and Belgium, the Afghan Whigs will return to the U.S. for a two-month North American tour that spans September and October. Although the band isn’t performing anywhere within a couple hours drive of the Reverend, they will be hitting all the major stateside musical oases, with stops in Brooklyn, Nashville, Atlanta, Austin, Seattle, and Los Angeles as well as the Whigs’ hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio; we have the complete tour dates below. Check out the band’s wonderful In Spades album and start saving your pennies for concert tickets to see the Afghan Whigs in person!
