Random Desire (CD)
Greg Dulli
Amoeba Review

Afghan Whigs and Twilight Singers mastermind Greg Dulli, after years recording as the latter project, puts out his first true solo album under his own name. Random Desire is a direct window into the songwriter’s psyche, with the lion’s share of the instrumentation provided from Dulli himself, achieving a stripped-down take on the unique blend of indie rock, R&B, and dark pop elements that he’s perfected over the years. “A Ghost” sounds like a modern update of what could be a Dusty Springfield or Lee Hazlewood song, while “Pantomima” would sound right at home slotted between alt-rock heroes such as Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age.
