Description

The Twilight Singers – Blackberry Belle

11 track CD album.

Created from the ashes of The Afghan Whigs and helmed by legendary frontman and Whigs founder Greg Dulli, The Twilight Singers formed in 1997. Their debut album, Twilight As Played By The Twilight Singers, was released in 2000 before Dulli decided to take a break from music. Inspired by Jack London’s novel Martin Eden and his experiences of the loss of a close friend and an earthquake, The Twilight Singers returned in 2003 with second album Blackberry Belle. 

“If you’re looking for something light, look elsewhere. Dulli wrote the songs for this album after the break up of his band and the death of one his closest friends. This would be cause for many others to overdo the drama, and while Blackberry Belle isn’t short on that, Dulli is never wallowing in grief – he’s exploring it and finding release. This is why the album stays on the right side of melodrama. Dulli knows how this stuff can sound and you can hear it in the knowing wink in the album’s opener: “Black out the windows/it’s party time”

Dulli comes from nineties school of alternative rock, so loud-soft dynamics pitch up all over the show. ‘Martin Eden’ starts with a lonesome piano which breaks into sweeping menace; ‘Decatur Street’’s choruses cut two large sleazy holes into the funk-driven stomp of the rest of the song. It all comes together, though, in ‘The Killer’, which eases the listener into a sleepy groove with throbbing bass and lazy guitar strums, and then blindsides them in the chorus; violins, hammering drums and overdriven guitars go to war with each other while Dulli’s scream flies overhead like a B52.” – 9/10 Drowned in Sound
