#2858 Algiers - The Underside of Power

Distressed jeans music. Fisher can wail, and on paper I like soul + noise, but it doesn't ring sincere, doesn't sound like there's a band of musicians who care in there. There's weird beeps, but its sound of TV on the Radio backing the money truck up to Atticus Ross's house. Too many layers, too much production, too many pretty asides that feel designed to sell to a Starbucks crowd that's ready to turn on some of this trap music they've been hearing all about 2.5/5
