Algiers - ‘Blood’

Maybe it’s the rattle-snake tambourine, or the totemic beat, or the screaming guitar or perhaps it’s the repetitive bluesy vocal chant, but there’s a definite voodoo quality to this; ‘Blood’, as is only fitting, lives under your skin.

It’s the latest track from experimental trio Algiers, a group from Atlanta, Georgia, self-described as a “gospel noise soul pulp response, slurping Francophilia, Black Power and Southern Gothic into a stew thicker than bourguignon in the Algierian sun. 

The video pairs historic events from “the rotten hub of the Ol’ American South” with the song’s composing sentiment.

Blood 7” is out now on Double Phantom Records.
