The continuation of BLK JKS


S let’s refresh our memories because I know you guys are getting a little excited with all this information, and of course I am mass producing stacks of it and digesting it can get a little hard

Let’s start over…

Now 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)
