The Altar by Banks
The Altar is an album by Banks, released in 2016. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Gemini Feed”, on 1 list with a best position of #80.
The Altar is the second studio album from Banks, the American singer and songwriter born Jillian Rose Banks, and it landed on Harvest on September 30, 2016, two years after her debut Goddess. She reunited with Al Shux from the Goddess sessions and brought in Tim Anderson, Sohn and DJ Dahi, and together they built something brooding and bass-heavy, all shadowy electronics and vocals that sound whispered through clenched teeth before they break into a wail.
Four singles carried it: "Fuck with Myself", "Gemini Feed", "Mind Games" and "To the Hilt". Critics were mostly on board, and the album climbed to number 17 on the Billboard 200, her second trip into the top 20.
