Greg Dulli Shares New Single 'It Falls Apart'
Today, Greg Dulli, frontman of The Afghan Whigs and The Twilight Singers, releases “It Falls Apart,” the second single from his first-ever solo record, Random Desire out February 21st via Royal Cream/BMG.“'It Falls Apart' allows itself to get pulled into its darker inclinations. Perpetually falling piano notes grip at the melody, miring it in a sense of inevitable collapse. Even so, the synthesizers and drums push upward, giving Dulli's vocals something to hook onto as he sings,” said Consequence of Sound. Earlier this month Dulli also released an All That Jazz inspired music video for Random Desire's lead single “Pantomima,” directed by long-time Whigs collaborator Philip Harder. Watch the video below! Random Desire is now available for pre-order.
