How Do You Burn? The Afghan Whigs

The Afghan Whigs’ new album How Do You Burn? is introduced with the passionate and fast paced I’ll Make You See God, an aggressive start to a set of songs that defy definition within a singular genre. How Do You Burn? is a refreshing fall album that tells a story of love, loss, and forgiveness that is every evolving with each song. With reappearances from guest singers Marcy Mays and Susan Marshall, I’ll Make You See God is a homage to the band’s previous albums, like 1965 and Gentlemen. Especially with Catching a Colt, the pairing of lead and background vocals add a uniqueness to the album that many new bands lack. “It won’t be long, you’re waiting for a feeling / To catch a colt and race it through the ceiling / I’m wide awake, it’s why they call it dreaming.”
