Background notes
Archive material and source history
Algiers formed in Atlanta in 2012 with Lee Tesche on guitar, Ryan Mahan on bass, Matt Tong on keyboards, and Franklin James Fisher on drums. They took their name from the Algerian capital, a city with a history of resistance. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2015 and earned a Mercury Prize nomination.
Their music pulls from post-punk, soul, and gospel, with lyrics that often address social and political themes. Songs like 'Blood' and 'Remains' show their brooding, atmospheric approach. They followed their debut with 'The Underside of Power' in 2017, 'There Is No Year' in 2020, and 'Shook' in 2022, each record incorporating more electronic and industrial textures.
