Editor's note

The Twilight Singers, Greg Dulli's dark soul-rock collective

A rotating cast of musicians built moody, atmospheric rock around Dulli's voice.

For the vibe, try 'Teenage Wristband' or 'Decatur St.' They get that mix of grit and atmosphere right.

The Twilight Singers gave Greg Dulli a space to explore a darker, more soul-inflected sound after The Afghan Whigs. Songs like 'Teenage Wristband' from 'Powder Burns' show that blend of atmospheric rock and grounded emotion. It's a project where guests like Mark Lanegan could drop in, but Dulli's voice always held the center.

It started as a side project in 1997, with the first album 'Twilight as Played by The Twilight Singers' arriving the next year. They kept putting out records like 'Blackberry Belle' and 'She Loves You' through the 2000s, with Dulli as the constant amid a shifting lineup of players.

Archive material and source history

The Twilight Singers began in 1997 as a side project for Greg Dulli, who had previously fronted The Afghan Whigs. Their first album, 'Twilight as Played by The Twilight Singers,' came out in 1998. Dulli's voice remained the constant element in what was essentially a rotating collective of musicians, with people like Mark Lanegan and Josh Homme appearing on various recordings.

They released 'Powder Burns' in 2003, which included the song 'Ghosts.' That track, along with others like 'Teenage Wristband' and 'Live With Me,' defined their sound, a kind of dark, soul-inflected rock that felt both atmospheric and grounded. Later albums like 'Blackberry Belle' and 'She Loves You' followed in the 2000s.
