LISTEN: Stream Algiers’ self-titled debut
Atlanta, Georgia’s Algiers have made quite a buzz with their upcoming self-titled debut (which drops June 2 via Matador), and single “Black Eunuch”, whose sparse, haunting sound has been compared to a more soulful Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. And if that name-dropping isn’t enough for you, don’t worry—the entire record is streaming a week before its official release thanks, of course, to NPR Music’s First Listen.

1. Remains

3. And When You Fall
