Afghan Whigs announce “spooky” new album, “In Spades”

Sub PopAfghan Whigs will release their eighth studio album, titled In Spades, on May 5. You can listen to the record's lead single, "Demon in Profile," now via YouTube.

In a press release, frontman Greg Dulli says In Spades is a "spooky record."

"I like that it's veiled," he explains. "It's not a concept album per se, but as I began to assemble it, I saw an arc and followed it. To me it's about memory -- in particular, how quickly life and memory can blur together."

In Spades is the follow-up to Afghan Whigs' 2014 comeback effort, Do to the Beast.

Here is the In Spades track list:

"Birdland"
"Arabian Heights"
"Demon in Profile"
"Toy Automatic"
"Oriole"
"Copernicus"
"The Spell"
"Light as a Feather"
"I Got Lost"
"Into the Floor"
