Today, Algiers has released the powerful new single ‘Irreversible Damage’ featuring Zack de la Rocha. “This a relapse / what it be god / No rehab for my jihad / A rapture in a grief storm / Time on my neck an’ it be gone” de la Rocha spits to a breakneck climax of clattering beats, snaking guitars and pulsing electronics. “The end of that song is the sound of joy,” says Algiers frontman Franklin James Fisher. “That’s what hope sounds like in 2022 when everything’s falling apart.”
The track is off their new album SHOOK out February 24th on Matador. Stacked with guests spanning icons through to future stars, the album might be their most intense yet.
Algiers will perform a special SHOOK event in at Brooklyn’s National Sawdust on December 15th, which will feature special guests.
The band will also tour Europe in 2023, including a London show March 8th at the Dome. The band are also confirmed for the 2023 edition of SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, with more dates to follow.
