Algiers share powerful new video for “Cleveland”
Algiers have just shared a new video for “Cleveland,” from their new album The Underside of Power. The clip is directed by the band’s Franklin James Fisher, with Marisa Gesualdi and Sam Campbell, and it was shot between Staten Island and the Pink Houses project in New York City, where New York police shot and killed Eric Garner and Akai Gurley. The video also features principles of the Black Panthers’ Ten-Point Program. It’s a powerful and artful video, and you can see it below.
Algiers have also just expanded their tour dates to include a fall European tour. Check out those dates below.
