The Afghan Whigs Release New Single “House Of I”, Their First New Music Since 2022

The Afghan Whigs announce the release of “House of I”, their first new music since 2022 via Royal Cream/BMG. Driven by pounding drums, roaring guitars, and caustic lyrics steeped in desire, the track is delivered with Greg Dulli’s unmistakable vocals. Produced and mixed by Dulli and Christopher Thorn, “House of I” was recorded at Marigny Sound in New Orleans, LA, with additional recording and mixing completed at Fireside Sound in Joshua Tree, CA.

“Laid this one down in New Orleans last summer” Dulli remarked. “Was looking for an up tempo banger and feel like we found one here”.

From their inception in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1986, The Afghan Whigs have never played by the rules of convention. Against the plaid-and-grunge-shaded backdrop of the early-to-mid-‘90s, the Whigs stood apart from their contemporaries by virtue of attiring in suits and being way more likely to slide up on a Marvin Gaye groove than rehash a Black Sabbath riff.

Originally splitting in 2001, the band subsequently reunited for a massively successful 2012 reunion tour that found them headlining major festivals all over the globe and selling out prestigious venues throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Southern Hemisphere. Since then, they have not only added to their touring legacy they have released three critically acclaimed albums in the 21st century: "Do to the Beast" (2014), "In Spades" (2017) and "How Do You Burn?" (2022).
