ALGIERS - ESYA

Algiers refuse to sit idly by while most contemporary artists appear perfectly content to wait out the revolution.

This is the musical response that dark times demand. One that not only shakes its fist but deploys it. Locally-informed and globally based – spread between London, Atlanta and New York – Algiers refuse to sit idly by while most contemporary artists appear perfectly content to wait out the revolution. Not only do they harbor a purposeful sense of obligation in what they do on their latest resistance record, The Underside Of Power, but they recognize the roots and thorns of precedent in said resistance.

ESYA

ESYA est le projet de pop indus d’Ayşe Hassan, également connue en tant que bassiste du groupe Savages. Pitchfork décrit son premier single « Lost » comme un mélange d’Inga Copeland et de Nine Inch Nails, le tout enchevêtré dans une construction industrielle. Après avoir tourné avec Sharon Van Etten, Esya viendra au Botanique nous présenter son premier album.
