Forty years into their career, The Afghan Whigs show no signs of slowing down. Soft Control is their tenth full-length studio album, recorded across Cincinnati, East Hollywood, Joshua Tree, and New Orleans — a sonic road map that gives the record a rich, lived-in texture. Greg Dulli and company continue to prove they are one of rock's most enduring acts, channeling the same smoldering intensity that defined their earliest work into something that feels both seasoned and vital.
Soft Control finds The Afghan Whigs in a compelling middle ground — equal parts swagger and restraint. The album opens with the confident groove of "Jungle Roux" and carries that momentum through a collection of songs that balance polished, full-bodied production with the darker undercurrents the band has always done so well. It's a record that rewards close listening, showcasing a band still very much in command of their craft.
