The Afghan Whigs have announced that they will release a new album, ‘In Spades’, through Sub Pop on 5 May.

“It’s a spooky record”, says the band’s Greg Dulli, who wrote and produced the album. “I like that it’s veiled. It’s not a concept album per se, but as I began to assemble it, I saw an arc and followed it. To me it’s about memory – in particular, how quickly life and memory can blur together”.

The band will also be touring the UK in support of the record. Here are the dates:

26 May: Manchester, Cathedral
27 May: Glasgow, ABC
28 May: Dublin, Academy
30 May: London, Koko

Here’s the first single from the record, ‘Demon In Profile’;
