Algiers released a new album, The Underside of Power, last month via Matador. They have previously shared the album’s title track, “The Underside of Power,” “Cleveland,” which references Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old African American boy who was shot to death by police in Cleveland in 2014 because he was playing with a toy gun in a playground, and fierce album opener “Walk Like a Panther.” Now they have shared a video for “Cleveland.” Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

A press release describes the video as such: “Interlaced with the principles of the Black Panthers’ Ten-Point Program, the video sees frontman and lyricist Franklin James Fisher, who self-directed the video with Marisa Gesualdi and Sam Campbell, between Staten Island and the Pink Houses project in East New York, where Eric Garner and Akai Gurley were killed at the hands of New York City Police Department.”
