The song flies forward with a clutched-fist tension that Dulli expertly controls with a vocal performance that swings between a wail and a soft falsetto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dulli began working on <i>Random Desire<\/i> in the wake of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/the-afghan-whigs\/\" id=\"auto-tag_the-afghan-whigs\" data-tag=\"the-afghan-whigs\">the Afghan Whigs<\/a>\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/hear-afghan-whigs-demon-in-profile-from-spooky-new-lp-123772\/\">2017 album, <i>In Spades<\/i><\/a>. Per a statement, Dulli drew inspiration from \u201cone-man-band visionaries\u201d like Prince and Todd Rundgren and pieced together the LP in studios in Los Angeles, Crestline, California, New Orleans and engineer Christopher Thorne\u2019s studio in Joshua Tree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dulli played most of the instruments on <i>Random Desire<\/i>, although it does feature contributions from his Afghan Whigs bandmates Jon Skibic and Rick G. Nelson, as well as Mathias Schneeberger from his other band, the Twilight Singers. Pedal steel guitarist and upright bassist (and physician) Stephen Patt also played on the album, as did Queens of the Stone Age and Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dulli will embark on a European tour in support of <i>Random Desire<\/i> next year, although he has yet to announce any North American dates.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em><strong>Random Desire&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><strong>Tracklist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) \u201cPantomima\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2) \u201cSempre\u201d<\/p>\n<p>3) \u201cMarry Me\u201d<\/p>\n<p>4) \u201cThe Tide\u201d<\/p>\n<p>5) \u201cScorpio\u201d<\/p>\n<p>6) \u201cIt Falls Apart\u201d<\/p>\n<p>7) \u201cA Ghost\u201d<\/p>\n<p>8) \u201cLockless\u201d<\/p>\n<p>9) \u201cBlack Moon\u201d<\/p>\n<p>10) \u201cSlow Pan\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/afghan-whigs-greg-dulli-new-album-random-desire-pantomima-921316\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Afghan Whigs\u2019 Greg Dulli unveiled a scorching new song, \u201cPantomima\u201d \u2014 the first release from his debut solo album under his own name.
