The Afghan Whigs - Soft Control (Exclusive Pink & Black Splatter Vinyl)

The Afghan Whigs returned in 2026 with their new album, Soft Control. The album captures The Afghan Whigs' unique ability to conflagrate stab-you-in-your-nose bone guitars and cubist refractions of soul and R&B. You expect bangers from The Afghan Whigs, and there are bangers. Yet there is a reconciliation of loud volume and somber reflections, living life with joy and purpose while keeping one eye on the clock and remaining aware of the absurdity. The Afghan Whigs' tenth album is a sterling addition to a singular body of work — a double-sided invitation to embrace the light and welcome the darkness.

Highlights include "House Of I", "Jungle Roux", and "Duvateen".
