The Underside of Power

by Algiers

The Underside of Power cover art

Adding Bloc Party's Matt Tong on drums, the transatlantic quartet delivers a blistering, highly politicized sophomore album. The record brilliantly fuses the intense, soulful vocal deliveries of Southern gospel with the mechanical dread of industrial noise and driving post-punk. It functions as a passionate, urgent protest against systemic racism and the rise of global fascism.
