In the wake of ''Black Love'''s commercial disappointment, The Afghan Whigs said they suffered neglect and dishonest business dealings with their label, Elektra.<ref name="autogenerated8">{{cite web |date=2 November 1998 |title=The Rocket |url=http://www.summerskiss.com/294/the-rocket/ |access-date=1 January 2015 |website=Summer's Kiss |archive-date=10 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110810105355/http://www.summerskiss.com/294/the-rocket/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="autogenerated7" /> Eventually, the two parted ways and the Whigs signed to Columbia Records for their next album, ''[[1965 (The Afghan Whigs album)|1965]]''. The unamicable parting resulted in Dulli being treated for depression, providing subject matter for songs like "Neglekted" which was featured on the band's next full-length effort.<ref>{{cite web |date=10 December 1988 |title=Chemical Brother |url=http://www.summerskiss.com/18/chemical-brother/ |access-date=1 January 2015 |website=Summer's Kiss |archive-date=1 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150101204956/http://www.summerskiss.com/18/chemical-brother/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="autogenerated7" /> The song had originally been named "Sylvia" as a swipe against then-Elektra head, [[Sylvia Rhone]].<ref name=autogenerated7 />

After a year's hiatus during which Dulli began another project known as [[The Twilight Singers]], The Afghan Whig's went to [[Daniel Lanois]]' famed studio in New Orleans to record ''1965,'' named after the year both Dulli and Curley were born.<ref name="autogenerated8" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.summerskiss.com/300/afghan-whigs-discover-their-soul-in-nawlins/|title=Afghan Whigs discover their soul in N'Awlins|website=Summer's Kiss|date=6 November 1998|access-date=1 January 2015|archive-date=1 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150101203014/http://www.summerskiss.com/300/afghan-whigs-discover-their-soul-in-nawlins/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="autogenerated6">{{cite web |last=Ankeny |first=Jason |title=1965 – The Afghan Whigs – Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/1965-mw0000031543 |access-date=1 January 2015 |publisher=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref><ref name=autogenerated7 /> Influenced again by film noir, as well as the urban wordplay of rappers like [[Nas]], ''1965'' received positive reviews in the press, praising, in particular, the band's continued flair for blending soul styles with rock.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.summerskiss.com/253/1965-newsweek/|title=1965 – Newsweek|website=Summer's Kiss|date=October 1998|access-date=1 January 2015|archive-date=1 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150101195753/http://www.summerskiss.com/253/1965-newsweek/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last=Diehl |first=Matt |date=6 November 1998 |title=1965 |url=https://ew.com/article/1998/11/06/1965/ |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |access-date=1 January 2015}}</ref> In addition to their headlining dates, The Afghan Whigs went on tour with [[Aerosmith]] as the classic-rock group's opening act.<ref name=autogenerated11 /> During the live dates for ''1965,'' Dulli got in an altercation with a stagehand following an [[Austin, Texas]] concert date and suffered a head injury that left him in a coma.<ref name=":0" /> Two months after Dulli's recovery, however, the group returned to the road.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://www.summerskiss.com/440/gunned-down-steve-myers/|title=Gunned Down – Steve Myers|website=Summer's Kiss|date=November 2002|access-date=1 January 2015|archive-date=19 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110519012817/http://www.summerskiss.com/440/gunned-down-steve-myers/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
