“With a crew of equally radical peers in tow, the Atlanta band’s new album is a dissonant but hopeful statement about dreaming up a better world.”
“Shook is a work of communal joy and resilient rage from Algiers”
“If 2017’s The Underside of Power was Algiers confirming their place as an angry, protest sound for restless days and nights, follow up, 2020s There Is No Year, as well as new album, SHOOK, represent something a little more subdued – a kind of consolidation of the forceful steamroller soul that powered their early sound. Franklin James Fisher is still front and centre with the lightning rod energy”
