Gentlemen
The Afghan Whigs

Despite being a fan of later album 1965, I'd never really dived into the Afgham Whigs catalogue so I was excited to give Gentlemen a whirl. There's something honest in the way the band go about their business - a standard four piece with piano/organ adding some depth and minimal production tweaks; you imagine the band might sound like this live. Honest, too, in the confessional song writing of Dulli, somewhat tormented and driven by libido, struggling to maintain relationships - I'm not sure I would want to hang out with him. A decent record, from a decent band making interesting music.
