“Miles Iz Ded” by Afghan Whigs

Greg Dulli wrote "Miles Iz Ded" and produced it with engineer Ross Ian Stein for Congregation, the Afghan Whigs' third album, which Sub Pop released at the tail end of January 1992. The sessions ran through July and August 1991 at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, Washington, and Buzz's Kitchen in Los Angeles, on a $15,000 advance from a label that was strapped for cash until Nirvana's Nevermind bailed it out.

Congregation is where the Whigs let soul, R&B and funk seep into the racket, slowing down and trading raw aggression for detail, while the lyrics prowl around pleasure, guilt and relationships gone rotten. It didn't chart, but it won them a cult following and got the major labels calling, and Elektra signed them.
