The Afghan Whigs Break Four-Year Silence with New Single 'House of I,' Announce Tour with Mercury Rev
The Afghan Whigs are back with their first original track in four years, 'House of I,' and a North American tour alongside Mercury Rev.
After a four-year hiatus from original music, The Afghan Whigs have returned with a vengeance, unleashing their new single, 'House of I.' This release follows a pair of covers shared earlier this year, signaling a revitalized energy from the indie-rock veterans.
'House of I,' expertly produced and mixed by Greg Dulli and Christopher Thorn, serves as a potent prelude to the band's upcoming 40th-anniversary tour. Fans across North America can rejoice as the tour is set to kick off next month, featuring support from the equally iconic Mercury Rev.
Dulli himself expressed his enthusiasm for the track, stating in a press release, 'Laid this one down in New Orleans last summer. Was looking for an up tempo banger and feel like we found one here.'
But the good news doesn't stop there. According to the press release, a new album—the highly anticipated follow-up to How Do You Burn?—is slated for release later this year.
