Recent Matador signees Algiers will release their self-titled debut album on June 2. You can get a taste of their gothy, gospel-inflected, politically minded sound via “Black Eunuch” and the video for “Irony. Utility. Pretext.” below.
Algiers, who played NYC back in February, will be on tour soon, including a return to NYC on June 9 at Mercury Lounge and June 10 at Baby’s All Right. Tickets for Baby’s are on sale now; tickets for Mercury Lounge go on AmEx presale today at noon, with the public on-sale beginning Friday (4/17) at noon.
All dates, including a run opening for Interpol, are listed below…
