Afghan Whigs – “Up In It” (1990)
Like a Midwestern Houellebecq on a whiskey bender, Greg Dulli isn’t afraid to skewer his own desires while chasing skirts. While not as strong as their later efforts, “Up In It,” is an excellent portrait of a band finding their identity as chroniclers of dark desires in the relatively emasculated nineties. Dulli’s soulful, blues-influenced voice also sets the band apart from the howling masses of the time, and even to this day, the album stands out as strong and sexy. — Cortney Harding
