Our Take

ALGIERS debut self-titled album is a genre-defying tour de force that seamlessly blends elements of post-punk, gospel, and soul to create a sound that is truly in a league of its own. From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of frontman Franklin James Fisher to the driving rhythms courtesy of drummer Matt Tong, this album is a testament to the band's undeniable talent and creativity.

The album opens with the politically charged anthem "Walk Like a Panther," a bold statement of intent that sets the tone for what's to come. From there, tracks like "Blood," "Irony. Utility. Pretext.," and "Black Eunuch" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly shift between moments of blistering intensity and quiet introspection.

But it's not just the music that sets ALGIERS apart – it's their lyrical prowess as well. Fisher's poetic, thought-provoking lyrics tackle issues of race, religion, and identity with a depth and nuance that is truly rare in today's music scene. And with powerful lines like "This is just the beginning / If they are gunning for us / Then they are gunning for you," it's clear that ALGIERS have a lot to say, and they're not afraid to say it.

In short, ALGIERS debut album is a mesmerising journey through the tangled intersections of history and politics, love and loss, fear and hope. It's an album that demands to be listened to, and one that will surely stand the test of time. So do yourself a favour and give it a spin – you won't be disappointed.

Algiers

Meet ALGIERS, the genre-blending band that's been turning heads and dropping jaws since their explosive debut in 2015. Hailing from the steamy streets of Atlanta, Georgia, this four-piece group is redefining what it means to be a politically-charged, soul-infused, post-punk powerhouse. Led by the enigmatic Franklin James Fisher on vocals, ALGIERS effortlessly weave together elements of gospel, punk, electronic, and everything in between to create a sound that is as urgent and unapologetic as it is invigorating and innovative. Their lyrics tackle issues of race, class, and power with a searing honesty that is as refreshing as it is necessary in today's tumultuous world. But don't let the weightiness of their words fool you - ALGIERS know how to throw down a live show that will have you dancing, sweating, and questioning everything you thought you knew about music. With critically acclaimed albums like "The Underside of Power" and "There Is No Year" under their belt, ALGIERS have cemented themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Whether they're blowing the roof off a packed venue or quietly stirring souls with a stripped-down acoustic set, this band is never content to rest on their laurels. So do yourself a favour and dive headfirst into the sonic world of ALGIERS - you won't regret it. Just be prepared to have your mind blown and your heart broken in the best way possible.
