The Afghan Whigs are releasing a new album, In Spades, on May 5 via Sub Pop. Previously they shared a video for its first single, “Demon in Profile,” as well as the audio for “Arabian Heights.” Now here’s a video for “Oriole.” It’s a NSFW affair about a woman who gets involved in a demonic cult. Amy Nicole Hood directed the clip. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

A previous press release described In Spades as such: “The album is a searing and soulful rock effort that emphasizes its pop instincts while contrasting with the seductive themes found throughout.”

Frontman Greg Dulli had this to say about the album in the press release: “It’s a spooky record. I like that it’s veiled. It’s not a concept album per se, but as I began to assemble it, I saw an arc and followed it. To me it’s about memory - in particular, how quickly life and memory can blur together.”
