NEW ALBUM ‘SHOOK’ OUT NOW

“Their skill summons a sense of constantly looming chaos: the feeling that anything might happen, that the music could melt down or mount a vicious ambush at any moment” – New York Times ‘Critic’s Pick’
“… turbulent, dense and diverse career-high” – MOJO ****
“… ‘SHOOK’ is the sound of a serious group equipped with the gravitas and shades of expression to carry their many ideas” – The Wire
“‘Shook’ evokes the frantic, overwhelming bad-news onslaught of circa-now life. People felt besieged by information in 1988, too, and the Bomb Squad drew on that feeling when they produced Public Enemy’s ‘It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back’. ‘Shook’ feels like an attempt to translate that feeling to an even-more jagged age” – Stereogum ‘Album Of The Week’
“Algiers’ Shook is an era-defining post-punk masterpiece” – Afropunk

In December, Algiers performed a special one-off gig at Brooklyn’s National Sawdust. Over two sets, the band debuted material from its new album ‘SHOOK’ alongside many of the guest-artists who appear on the record, including Amani, Big Rube, billy woods, DeForrest Brown Jr., Desde, Dreamcrusher, Elucid, Fatboi Sharif, King Vision Ultra, Latoya Kent, Maassai, Mark Cisneros, and Patrick Shiroishi.

Today you can watch the complete concert film, which was made by Hate5six. It’s a singular document – Algiers’ captured at its most visceral and exploratory in the company of the band’s extended community.

This week, the band will also launch a North American tour. The dates kick off in Austin at SXSW and will continue through Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. Find a complete itinerary below. ‘SHOOK’ is out now on Matador Records.

“The world got shook.” So Algiers formed a crew. The band—who have built one of the most exciting catalogs and cult followings of recent years gathered a posse of like-minded artists to create their fourth album, SHOOK. Stacked with guests spanning icons through to future stars, the record is a lightning rod for an elusive yet universal energy and feeling. A plurality of voices; a spiritual and geographical homecoming; a strategy of communion in a burning world; the story of an end of a relationship; an Atlanta front porch summer party. Ultimately, it’s a 17-track set of the most mind-expanding and thrilling music that you are likely to hear anytime soon.
