As SubPop Records states, “‘Cleromancy’ isn’t a word one normally finds in rock lyrics. Then again, In Spades – the forthcoming album by The Afghan Whigs, from which the new song “Oriole” hails – is defined only by its own mystical inner logic. The term means to divine, in a supernatural manner, a prediction of destiny from the random casting of lots: the throwing of dice, picking a card from a deck. From its evocative cover art to the troubled spirits haunting its halls, In Spades casts a spell that challenges the listener to unpack its dark metaphors and spectral imagery.” Download “Demon In Profile” off In Spades any time between June 5th, and June 11th and learn more about The Afghan Whigs at their Official Website, “Like” them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.
