Listen: Algiers – ‘73%’

On February 24th, Algiers will release their fourth album, SHOOK. It’s a record that’s deeply informed by collaboration and community, with almost every track including a guest or feature. You can now listen to ‘73%,’ one of the album’s most raw and explosive moments and also one of a handful of songs that highlights Algiers’ core lineup. 

‘73%’ follows previous singles, ‘I Can’t Stand It,’ ‘Bite Back’ featuring billywoods and Backxwash, and ‘Irreversible Damage’ featuring Zack de la Rocha. Stereogum called ‘Bite Back,’ “An essential posse cut for a landscape ablaze.” Afropunk highlighted ‘Irreversible Damage’ as, “… a track that shines a light on everything Algiers does best. It’s intense, but contemplative, haunting but driving. Jagged edged guitars and liquid 303s underpin Fisher and De La Rocha’s tumultuous vocals which spit out lines that split the difference between poetry and prophecy.”
