Algiers seems to be prophetic in some sense, with their 2015 self-titled debut acting as the modern art that best represented the bubbling tension that was seemingly rising to society's surface on a world scale. Now with the rise of morons in government (The Orange Horror), nationalism in some sections of the US and Europe, and racism, misogyny and overall bigotry in areas across the globe, this new album feels like a reaction and a warning. A reaction to things getting worse, not better, and a warning that at some point, it might be too late before history begins to repeat itself. Wrap this up in their dark mix of Motown and gospel having gone through a bit of a TV on the Radio filter, and you have their new album. It's brilliant, thought-provoking and beautiful.
