Algiers in two weeks in Helsinki

por Emil Gil Bretón · 08/09/2023

American-English experimental rock/soul band ALGIERS will return once again to Helsinki in two weeks as a part of their Autumn European tour. The concert will be at the venue On The Rocks (Helsinki) on September 26th. The band has released four studio albums and their latest was «Shook» via Matador this 2023. Also, they have released several EPs and mixtapes. ALGIERS pulls from a divergent number of musical (and nonmusical) influences; the most notable of which being post-punk, hip-hop, Southern Gothic literature, and the concept of the Other. Their sound has been described as «dystopian soul» due to its somber mood, afrofolk inspired vocal approach, and heavy emphasis on atonal textures. Scottish-Thai electronic musician HELEN GANYA will be the opening act for the evening.
