Description

Powder Burns is the fourth album by Greg Dulli's The Twilight Singers. It was partly recorded with extra power generators in a deserted New Orleans studio just after the floods caused by Hurricane Katrina. 

"Similar in hue to 2003's Blackberry Belle, Dulli's fourth outing with the Twilight Singers, Powder Burns, is anything but a re-tread. While Dulli's working from his usual palette of muddy grooves, guitar-scree and leering swagger, the new album sounds more urgent and lucid in intention than its predecessors...

Lyrically, the album is informed by two life-altering events in Dulli's life; his decision to clean-up, and Hurricane Katrina's devastating effect on his adoptive hometown of New Orleans. At his insistence, Powder Burns was finished in the battered city - instruments had to be powered by generators and recording time was restricted due to the curfew imposed by the National Guard. Dulli has also spoken in interviews of his disgust at how quickly so many people were to abandon The Big Easy in its hour of need."
