Following two critically acclaimed albums Algiers are back with “Can the Sub_Bass Speak?”, a new collaborative piece with production duo Randall Dunn and Ben Greenberg (Jo?hann Jo?hannsson’s Mandy Soundtrack, Sunn O))), Uniform), which challenges racial serotypes and the disorienting resurgence of fascism across Europe and the United States over a free jazz collage.
“Who has the cultural authority to designate origin and authenticity? “Can the Sub_Bass Speak? “is a frustrated regurgitation; a re-contextualization; a re-appropriation; a shield and a mirror that projects back onto the world a lifetime of interpellating language rooted in weaponized ignorance and supremacist privilege” says Algiers multi-instrumentalist Franklin James Fisher.
“This is for anyone who has found themselves on the sharp end of insidious, rhetorical prying: “Where are you from?” “What are you?” This is for anyone who has had their identity assigned and determined by the agents of patriarchy. This is for the Subaltern.”
