It would certainly be an honor to astral project while Algiers' self-titled debut recording plays from a short distance, no matter how intimidating the procedure will become later on. Even the people who bear the most unhappiest of thoughts aren't incapable of separating from their physical bodies as this album goes on and on. Basically, I'm saying that the entire record is very, very nice to hear.

For as consistent as Algiers' career has been (third album notwithstanding), I find myself returning to their debut the most. Its darkness, cold, and fogginess are suffocating in a good way.

Soulful industrial gothic post-punk whose mixing of genres is more exciting on paper than it is on wax. Their sound and production are dope, but they lack original melodies and proper construction - almost every track overstays its welcome. The vocalist's the real deal.

A record with soul, rithm and a mesage. Some songs can be a little draggy but great overall.rReally good debut album. Let's see where they will go from here.

A draining, emotionally charged record that can be tiring and enlightening simultaneously. this shit is made of syrup and density. One of the best albums of the year.

Formed in Atlanta, Algiers is a trio that mixes industrial and post-punk instrumentals with soul vocals. Franklin James Fisher is the frontman on this record, and he possesses a wonderfully versatile voice. This is best exemplified in two of the last tracks on the record, "Games" and "In Parallax", the former of which features a soothing and subdued Fisher, and the latter of which features a wailing and heavy-voiced Fisher. The instrumentation is plodding and dark, but can speed up when called upon. The deep feedback from the guitars creates a great atmosphere, and overall the record is a pretty ambitious affair. Absolutely recommended for fans of experimental music, especially when based in the dark clutches of the industrial genre.
