The Underside of Power is the second album by American experimental band Algiers.

[2] The album was produced by Adrian Utley of Portishead and his frequent collaborator Ali Chant.

It was also the band's first album to feature drummer Matt Tong as a full-time member.

On The Underside of Power, they assert that even amid violence, darkness, and horror, that the human spirit is affirmed through witness and resistance, leading not only to solace but to redemption.
