Overview
- The two-track release reimagines Poliça’s 2016 "Fake Like" and Still Corners’ 2016 "Downtown" in the band’s darker, blues-inflected style.
- "Fake Like" b/w "Downtown" is out now via Royal Cream/BMG, with a limited red 7-inch from Cincinnati’s Shake It Records set to ship late December or early January.
- Stereogum characterizes the versions as a stormy take on "Fake Like" and a majestic slow-burn for "Downtown."
- The single is the Afghan Whigs’ first new release since their 2022 album How Do You Burn?.
- SPIN reports the covers are standalone tracks that will not appear on the band’s forthcoming LP.
