2. TWILIGHT SINGERS, “DYNAMITE STEPS” (Sub Pop)

Greg Dulli drops another stunning soundtrack to the dark, art-house thriller playing in his mind. “She Was Stolen” is a sweet-sounding lover’s lament/revenge fantasy. “On the Corner” conjures all sorts of seductive danger, while “Waves” is a return to his harder-edged, grungier days with the Afghan Whigs. It’s the most compelling rock album of the year.

From the Cincinnati.com article:

“Speaking as someone who plays and enjoys original music, it’s going to be felt,” said former Afghan Whigs bassist and Ultrasuede Studios owner John Curley, who now plays in a band called Fists of Love with Schadler. Curley even had his wedding reception there in 1993, when he and the Afghan Whigs played some of the songs from their breakthrough album “Gentlemen” live for the first time.

“It’s not like we can lose a venue and it won’t have an impact. What impact that’s going to have is hard to say,” Curley said. “The emotional impact will be great among a lot of people who go to see shows there and have been playing there a long time.”
