S let’s refresh our memories because I
know you guys are getting a little excited with all this information, and of

and then it’s easy to guess that Blk Jks are from Johannesburg and are an
African band on their four-song “Mystery EP”. That’s when they go bounding into
three-chord South African township grooves in “Lakeside” or overlay the reggae
foundation of “Summer time” with syncopated guitars. But Blk Jks make their
music in a global swirl of possibilities; they are an art-rock band...While the
lyrics (mostly in English) ponder philosophical quandaries — “All the wise men
’round the world don’t know the answers” — the band’s quick-fingered,
multilayered vamps well up out of murky echoes, piling jubilation atop the
anxiety, before submerging again (www.secretlycanadian.com\artist)
