Powder Burns by The Twilight Singers

Powder Burns, the fourth album by Greg Dulli's Twilight Singers, came out on May 15, 2006, on One Little Indian, and part of it was cut with extra generators in an abandoned New Orleans studio right after the Hurricane Katrina floods. The rest came together in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Milan and Catania, with Dulli producing the band he had started as a side project from the Afghan Whigs.

It's a dark, smoky, sleepless record, all brooding atmosphere, thick guitars and Dulli's whiskey-cured voice. Manuel Agnelli of Italy's Afterhours co-wrote "My Time (Has Come)" and "The Conversation", the latter inspired by Francis Ford Coppola's film, and Joseph Arthur, Jeff Klein and Ani DiFranco also pitched in. Reviews were glowing: Denis Leary raved about it and used "Bonnie Brae" in his series Rescue Me. The same sessions spawned the EP A Stitch in Time.
