Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs has announced details behind his debut solo album, Random Desire. The album arrives on February 21st and features 10 songs which were written almost entirely by Dulli -- he not only wrote the lyrics, but also piano, bass, drums, and more. Dulli began working on the album in the "aftermath" of Afghan Whigs' last album In Spades after various members of the band began to focus on sideprojects. The result is an intriguing sounding record, described in the press release as follows:
"Random Desire is a clinic put on by a veteran master operating at the height of his powers, offering evidence of the hard-fought and weary wisdom learned from setbacks and victories alike. A lucid, confident and self-assured document of the songs of experience, the perils of existence, and the possibilities that offer themselves anew with each breath. Another death and rebirth from an outlaw who has seen it all and somehow lived to tell."
Dulli unleashed the first single from the record today. Stream "Pantomima" below and head here to view Random Desire pre-order options.
European dates in support of the album were announced today; U.S. dates will be announced shortly, so stay tuned.
