LIMITED EDITION GOLD 2LP VINYL
Release Date: 24th February 2023
"Algiers return with ‘Shook’, their first new music since 2020’s ‘There Is No Year’, called “a heady concoction of post-punk, ‘60s soul and political insight” (NME ****). Shook features contributions from Rage Against The Machine’s Zack De La Rocha, Boy Harsher’s Jae Matthews, Big Rube, billy woods, Backxwash, and many more. ‘Shook’ single ‘Bite Back’ was greeted by The FADER with a glowing Song You Need review: “A sober state of the union rallying cry for the revolution.” The band - who have built one of the most exciting catalogues and cult followings of recent years, with 2020’s ‘There Is No Year’ described as “electrifying and unpredictable” (The Observer) and “precise, thoughtful and powerful” (NME) - gathered a posse of like-minded artists to create their fourth album, ‘Shook’. Stacked with guests, spanning icons through to future stars, ‘Shook’ 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."
