On February 24, Matador Records will release SHOOK, the fourth album by Algiers. This spring, the band will embark on a North American tour, which will kick off in Austin, TX at SXSW and conclude in Toronto.

Last night, Algiers performed a special one-off gig at Brooklyn’s National Sawdust. Over two sets, the band debuted material from SHOOK alongside many of the guest-artists who appear on the album, including Amani, Big Rube, billy woods, DeForrest Brown Jr., Desde, Dreamcrusher, Elucid, Fatboi Sharif, King Vision Ultra, Latoya Kent, Maassai, Mark Cisneros, Nakama, and Patrick Shiroishi.

Stacked with guests spanning icons through to future stars, SHOOK is a lightning rod for an elusive yet universal energy and feeling. A plurality of voices; a spiritual and geographical homecoming; a strategy of communion in a burning world; the story of an end of a relationship; an Atlanta front porch summer party. Ultimately, it's a 17-track set of the most mind-expanding and thrilling music that you are likely to hear anytime soon.

Our Annual Orgy of Self-Congratulation, Grandstanding & Overconsumption : Matador Artists & Staff Select Their 2022 Favorites

December 15th, 2022 at 2:11 pm by Gerard

(congrats to 2022 Matador Inventor Of The Year, Dr. Homei Miyashita of Meiji University's Frontier Media Science.  Dr. Miyashita's dogged attempts to create lickable TV screens have yet to revolutionize either watching TV or licking, but both have been more successful than our introduction of Accutron 3000 and Brobot 3000, so there's that).

(Around this time every December, your STRESSED-TO-THE-MAX  editor attempts to coax a list of favorite recordings, books, television programs, life events, etc. out of the label’s artist roster and our music industry cronies. In the past, this exercise has been a difficult process, fraught with nagging, CRYING  and no shortage of defiantly opposed participants, some of whom actually changed labels or places of employment to weasel out of it.

Keep in mind, we're about to close the books on the ANOTHER YEAR OF THE WORLD GOING TO SHIT and perhaps persons with some sense of perspective or sanity  have other things on their mind than trumpeting their own cultural cachet. Thankfully, we only know a few people like that.

For some historical perspective, here’s last year’s selections. Questions or comments about our terrible tastes and/or inexcuasable  omissions are welcome (but not so welcome that we’re inclined to acknowledge receipt).

On behalf of everyone at Matador, here's wishing you, your families and friends a safe & happy holiday and thank you, as always, thanks for putting up with us. 2023 is going to be our craziest year ever (EDITOR'S NOTE : please check this out with the legal department prior to publication, thx) And without further ado, let the coronoation of Van Morrison's 'What's It Gonna Take?'  commence. – Gerard Cosloy)

Hugo Burnham, Gang Of Four

Hugo's Rule-Defying Baker’s Dozen of 2022:
Steve Burhans, Beggars Group

Ten most listened to releases of 2022 (mostly re-issues, cause that’s my business but also my pleasure)

No particular order:



- V/A – Fell From The Sun (Downtempo And After Hours 1990-91) 2xLP (Ace) Never expected this to be my go to listen this year, but life is a mystery. Compiled by the boys from Saint Etienne and it sounds like it! Cooked a lot of dinners in 2022 to this one.

- The Retail Simps  - Reverberant Scratch: 9 Shots In Tha Dark LP (Total Punk) Someone sold me on this LP by saying it was like Ron House fronting the Bar Kays. That’s accurate and a guarantee of quality (maybe not the quality you expect).



- Thee Isolators – Crying Eyes b/w Close That Door 7” (Iso-Tope)
Killer debut single from a truly deranged crew. Rust belt hoodlums attached to the same live wire that John Terlesky held in his wildest days. There’s some real garage archeology happening here and hopefully it’s just the beginning.

- V/A – East Side 415 2xCS (12 Man Rambo/L-Wood Media)
An amazing and thorough survey of East Bay (Oakland, Richmond, Vallejo) rap that pre-dates the area code switch from 415 to 510 in 1991. A reverbed out booming album (like Master P used to say). Raw and essential.

- Biff Bang Pow – A Better Life: The Complete Creations 4xCD (Cherry Red)
It’s always rare to find another Biff Bang Pow enthusiast. The ones I’ve met are all still close friends. I’m not looking for any new friends… but determined applicants can start here. Everything (and more) released from a band that never seems to get the praise they deserve. Never realized how much this band needed a box set.



- V/A – A Chant About The Beauty Of The Moon At Night: Early Hawaiian Steel Guitar Masters LP (Magnificent Sounds)
Rare and beautiful Hawaiian 78’s collected with love. The influence of this stuff on American 20^th century music is laid bare in this rewarding collection. This LP really takes you on a journey to a different (head) space.

- Dredd Foole And The Din – Songs in Heat 1982 CD (Corbett vs. Dempsey)
First in a series of releases covering the worlds of Dan Ireton. This covers the Mission Of Burma encompassing Mark 1 Din and includes the complete session for the world beating debut 7”. Future installments are anxiously anticipated.

- Jacks – Vacant World LP (Mesh-Key)
One of my favorite LP’s ever, in what must be the ultimate version. Loud and crystal clear. The cover has never looked better. Obviously this record should be in every home.

- Richard Thompson – Music From Grizzly Man 2xLP (No Quarter)
Criminally rare on LP, I was happy to revisit this again. Probably the last great Richard Thompson LP and the most striking overall. Moody, atmospheric and intimate.



- Project Pat – Murderers & Robbers LP (Project)
Comp of raw street material from Pat’s Pre-Loud Records, Pre-prison sentence early 90’s mixtapes. Basically unavailable outside of Memphis and the dark corners of the internet, it’s a blessing that we finally got this one on LP for the heads.

BONUS BEATS:

The Cat’s Miaow – Songs ’94-’98 LP (World Of Echo)/Hydroplane – Hydroplane LP (Efficient Space) Both sides of this celebrated and yet overlooked group of Australian musicians. Two different styles from two different bands with all the same people. Worth finding these if you can. The hype sticker on the Hydroplane could never live up to the comparisons listed (Radiophonic Workshop, Endtroducing, etc) but was enough to make this cynic pull the trigger.

Top Noam Klar tweets of 2022

1. My weekly report be like “your screen time was down 5% last week, for an average 23 hours, 15 minutes a day” lmao


2. Someone was telling me tonight about their friend Amber and how she’d heard a rumor and I said “oh Amber Heard?” and continued to draw it out for about 10 minutes


3. Someone has asked me what weekdays September 15 & 16 2024 fall on as if it's possible to know that


4. Don’t like it when pets are named after artists or similar. A pet should be called something like Butter or Nugget not Alex Turner or “Dosto”


5. Funny how “pint sized” is used to describe something as dismissively small, when I’m sure not many here would enjoy coming across a “pint sized” cockroach or hornet [2018 retweet]


6. Understand the cultural fascination but the chef / restaurant fly-on-the-wall genre - Burnt, Boiling Point, Ratatouille, The Bear - is starting to feel a little one note


7. Remember getting an email from a wellness spa I was at for a “follow up appointment” as it’d been 2 months since I was “discharged”


8. My desert island disc? A loud looped mayday call in hopes of rescue


9. Spring is in full bloom yet the crypto winter marches on


10. Gong bath? I'll stick to a power chord shower, thanks
