Algiers are a politically conscious indie trio who combine elements of post-punk and no wave with raw blues, gospel, and even early industrial music. Their self-titled 2015 debut on Matador garnered positive notice from the U.S and across Europe. Some critics labeled their sound "dystopian soul." Their third long-player, There Is No Year, was produced by Randall Dunn and Ben Greenberg and featured guest spots by saxophonist Skerik and backing vocals by LaToya Kent, Kyle Kidd, and Lou the Dog. They are based in New York City and London.
