“Algiers” is a moody, four-minute short film starring Dulli and set in a western town with the same name as the song. (Dulli, for his part, never did direct his, either.) But the Afghan Whigs maintain their cinematic passions on the video for the first single from their forthcoming album, their first in fifteen years. The band is currently on hiatus.The halcyon days of the music industry circa 1992 are a distant memory, of course, and the notion that a label deal for for an unproven rock band would include a promise to finance a feature film is laughable. 'Stations' is also occasionally started with a short quote from the intro of ' Stairway to Heaven', which Dulli states is his favorite song of all time. They usually segue 'God's Children' into Bob Dylan's ' All Along the Watchtower', jokingly acknowledging the obvious melodic similarities between their own song and Dylan's. The set list includes song for both their albums, acoustic versions of some tracks from their previous bands and a few covers. In January 2009, The Gutter Twins toured as a duet, backed by guitarist Dave Rosser (who also sings lead vocals on 'Tennessee Waltz'). Shneider was a friend of the band and the late lead singer of Eleven. A portion of Adorata’s proceeds will go to the Natasha Shneider Memorial Fund. It features two original songs and cover versions of songs by José González, Primal Scream, Scott Walker, Vetiver, and Eleven.

In September 2008, The Gutter Twins released the EP Adorata through iTunes. Critical response to the album was consistently good Blast magazine called it 'an audial descent into the dark emotions that often lurk beneath the surface' and that 'the haunting 'God’s Children' sounds like it was penned by U2’s long-lost cousin from Seattle' and Uncut said 'with Lanegan at his stentorian best and Dulli in full confessional mode, Saturnalia is a feast, certainly – but one where the dishes are served delightfully raw.' The Gutter Twins appeared with their backup band on the Late Show with David Letterman on March 20, 2008, and toured the album throughout the USA and Europe during the year. Soon thereafter, Sub Pop reported a Marelease date for their debut album Saturnalia. In July 2007, the music website Pitchfork Media announced that the duo, 'two of the alt-rock era's greatest frontmen,' had signed to Seattle label Sub Pop.
