Algiers (the band)

So Lee's Nun Gun project is out today per the link above -- and there's a dub version due in a couple of weeks. You might recognize some of the names (he said, drily).

New album en route and the new single is here with Backxwash and billy woods and it rules.

oh this rules, hopefully the album is similarly cool because the last one just didn't quite do it for me

omg this is fantastic, full portishead prog-rap-soul trip

I felt like "Chaka" was a near-pinnacle for them and this isn't quite at that level but yes it's very promising for the new album.

yeah I quite liked the last album but it def had Internet Backlash

oh i didn't know RYM hated it lol, i just remember it being mostly more-of-the-same except not quite as strong as TUOP

just a little underwhelming rather than being awful or anything

Fantano apparently piled in, you know the rest etc

Piled in full knowing their history of sub(bass)tweeting their critics, even. Time for a sequel lads

yeah I quite liked the last album but it def had Internet Backlash

another very cool new single

album shook out feb 24

late pass but bite back is fucking great

Saw some IG video clips of a December 15 gig in NY where they were joined onstage by guests including Billy Woods and Mark Cisneros; and I was impressed

the new album is sure shaping up well

extremely cool, touch of Mars Volta to it dare i say

interesting/awesome remix-not-remix album by nyc doing-it-wrong hiphop impresario king vision ultra aka geng aka head of ptp

new album sounds pretty good on first listen

It does indeed.

Enjoying this

Will be seeing them in a few weeks at Bottom of the Hill; they were great when I caught them for Underside of Power a while back but I suspect this show, with the catalog even deeper now, will be a hell of a thing.

Algiers not happy with Under the Radar site negative review

no one could accuse under the radar of knowing what theyre talking about

Haha. Well presuming they read all the criticism of them, this is easily their best album yet imo

yeah it's fantastic, definitely their best
