The Twilight Singers Artist Snapshot:

Having established himself as a dark, gritty songwriter and charismatic presence in Afghan Whigs, Greg Dulli's follow-up band, Twilight Singers, conceived shortly before the Whigs' 2001 dissolution, showcases all this with slightly smoother edges. With atmospheric production and a more soulful, bluesy bent, Dulli surrounds himself with an eclectic array of collaborators (Mark Lanegan, Apollonia ) and doesn't back off from experimentation (a slow jam of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme," anyone?). The consistent thread is Dulli's sultry voice and fearless lyrical exploration of the dark side of human relationships.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (p.77) - "[H]e once again lets it rip. Adorned with swirling strings and sensuous background vocals..." -- Grade: B+
Q (p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[There is] a lightness of touch to these songs that Dulli has only rarely suggested he possesses. 'There's Been An Accident' unfolds with grace and the ghostly 'Candy Cane Crawl' is all the better for being so understated."
Q (p.120) - Ranked #50 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006" -- "[The album] saw Dulli at the top of his uniquely melodramatic game."
Alternative Press (p.194) - "The crashing waves of guitar, strings and backing vocals on 'There's Been An Accident' are simply majestic, and the U2-style lament "I Wish I Was' conveys just what it means to miss New Orleans."
Magnet (p.112) - "POWDER BURNS is as much about great songs as vibe. The mood is Southern Gothic, but the music is hooky, powerful and raw."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.48) - "Every song incorporates different stylistic elements, combining to realise a magnificent whole that embeds itself irrevocably in head and heart."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Throughout, Dulli's unswerving ear for a pop hook is apparent....The autobiographical lyrics on offer here make for intimate listening."

Title Note

The Twilight Singers: Ani DiFranco (vocals); Dave Catching (guitar); Scott Ford (bass instrument); Greg Wieczorec (drums); Greg Dulli.

Originally conceived by singer/guitarist Greg Dulli as a side project to his excellent and unfairly ignored rock band Afghan Whigs, the Twilight Singers began releasing albums in 2000. While the band's first offering showed a penchant for sultry, folk-tinged sounds, 2006's POWDER BURNS is marked by the searing intensity that defines the Whigs' finest moments. Additionally, POWDER BURNS is a deeply personal record on which Dulli takes on the specter of his former drug addiction head-on. Intense and reflective at once, this is Dulli's most striking effort in some time, and may be the Twilight Singers' best work.
