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

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.

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

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

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

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