Their sound has been described as dystopian soul due to its somber mood, afrofolk inspired vocal approach, and heavy emphasis on atonal textures.<ref name="Go Local Providence">{{cite web|title=10 Great Things to do in RI This Weekend |url=https://www.golocalprov.com/lifestyle/10-great-things-to-do-in-ri-this-weekend-september-21-2018|newspaper=Go Local Providence|access-date=September 10, 2019|date=September 21, 2018}}</ref>

== History == Fisher, Mahan, and Tesche (of the experimental band Lyonnais) met and grew up playing music together in Atlanta, Georgia, but officially formed in London in 2012 with the release of their first single.<ref name="NPR" /> They chose the name Algiers in reference to Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966 film, ''The Battle of Algiers'',<ref name="NPR">{{cite web|last1=Raggett|first1=Ned|title=A Band Apart|url=https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2017/06/19/533237337/a-band-apart-fractured-fury-algiers|publisher=NPR|access-date=May 31, 2023|date=June 19, 2017}}</ref> and a key historical site of anti-colonial struggle, symbolizing a contested space where violence, racism, resistance, and religion commingle.<ref name="The Quietus" />

Their live show has been described as "recalling at various points PIL's dub-style expansions, Afrobeat, industrial, no wave, free jazz, Suicide, the XTC of "Travels in Nihilon," Nick Cave's fire and brimstone, and musique concrète."<ref name="IndyWeek">{{cite web|last1=Klein|first1=David|title=Live: Algiers win an uphill battle in Carrboro|url=http://www.indyweek.com/music/archives/2015/06/09/live-algiers-win-an-uphill-battle-in-carrboro|newspaper=Indy Week|access-date=July 4, 2015|date=June 9, 2015|archive-date=June 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617102758/http://www.indyweek.com/music/archives/2015/06/09/live-algiers-win-an-uphill-battle-in-carrboro|url-status=dead}}</ref>

=== 2012–2016: Formation and debut album === The group released their first single "Blood" in January 2012 via Atlanta based label Double Phantom. Byron Coley for The Wire wrote: "Although the fusion may have been touched upon in recordings related to both The Birthday Party and The Gun Club, Algiers are dedicated to grafting gospel music onto post-punk guitar-scuzz...this record is mesmerising and really sucks you in with its weird power."<ref>Coley, Byron.
