Reunited Cincinnati alt-rock stalwarts The Afghan Whigs have unveiled a new single for free download. Like their comeback single, “See And Don’t See” (which you can download via the bottom widget), it’s a cover, this time of Frank Ocean’s “Lovecrimes,” from his Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape. Greg Dulli may not have Frank Ocean’s lithe croon, but I’ll be damned if he isn’t a convincing narrator, and The Afghan Whigs up the ante with some guitar heroics. Download “Lovecrimes” via the first widget, and catch them on tour at one of the dates below.
