Album Description
Available in:
"The Underside of Power" is the second full length studio album by American experimental band Algiers. The album was released through Matador Records on June 23, 2017. The album was produced by Adrian Utley of Portishead and his frequent collaborator Ali Chant. It was also the band's first album to feature drummer Matt Tong as a full-time member.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 88, based on 16 reviews, indicating "Universal acclaim ".
User Album Review
The second album from London/Atlanta four-piece Algiers gleefully fuses classic 60s soul with post-punk experimentation to frequently astonishing effect. Against a constantly shifting musical backdrop, Franklin James Fisher’s rich voice (think Levi Stubbs) is the one constant, whether undercut by discordant guitar noise and rapid-fire beats (Animals) or caressed by piano (Mme Rieux). The politically charged lyrics are no less incendiary, particularly on the gospel-influenced Cleveland, a furious complement to the Black Lives Matter movement that pledges justice for the victims of racist killings. Best of all is the strident title track, which makes radical politics sound gloriously danceable. Intelligent, powerful, righteous – it’s not an easy listen, but it is a rewarding one.
