Algiers:
In the FBI file on the American rock โnโ roll band Algiersโwhich given their prior penchant for repping the Black Panthers, Malcolm X, Angela Davis, and Afeni Shakur, among others, surely existsโunder the subheading for their third album, There is No Year, the intelligence should soon read: all prior analytics appear outdatedโฆ this undoes everything we thought we knew about their intentionsโฆwhat hides inside themโฆ as if they are mutating live on camera, between framesโฆ
Indeed, even those aware of the ideals of this outspoken four-piece will find their latest direction traversing unprecedented ground. Coming off two years of nonstop world-touring for their critically acclaimed second album, The Underside of Powerโincluding Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltic States and the Balkans, where they have established a rabid following; an extended stint opening for Depeche Mode in huge stadiums such as the 75,000-capacity Olympiastadion in Berlin; as well as Glastonbury 2019โThere is No Year solidifies and expands upon the doom-laden soul of their foundation, toward an even more epic, genre-reformatting sound, one somehow suspended in the amber of โa different era,โ as described by guitarist Lee Tesche.
From the instant synth-pulse of the opening seconds of There is No Year, itโs clear that Algiers have set out to stake new ground, internally as much as sonically. At the forefront of this evolution is the centrality of power housed in Algiersโ multi-instrumentalist lead vocalist, Franklin James Fisher, whose voice and words provide the backbone of the album, his lyrics sourced entirely from an epic poem, โMisophonia,โ composed during his search for meaning amidst a protracted personal period of anxiety and lack.
