The Twilight Singers / . . . Plays Blackberry Belle
I barely remember the Afghan Whigs, except in a sort of "yeah, that name produces a feeling in me of kind of liking their music. I wonder what it was like" kind of way.
The Twilight Singers are, I suppose, very much like the Afghan Whigs, given that they have the same frontsman. They are wonderful, or at least . . . Plays Blackberry Belle is. They have jangly guitars. They have horns. They have noise and melody together, a combination that always works for me. They have a track that is nearly an anthem, "Papillon," that I sing along to in the car without a shred of embarrassment. It really does all come together nicely.
