Arty Rock from Jo'burg...
8 Jun 2010
Format:Audio CD
South African experimental Rock quartet Blk Jks have been called the African TV On The Radio, thanks to their knack for blending Rock, Soul, Jazz, Electronica, African rhythms and just about anything else they can lay their hands on. They sing in English, Xhosa, and Zulu.
"Zol!" is a 5 track EP opening with the gently galloping stylish rocker "Lietys" with groovy bass and clattering beats and vocals meandering all over the place but still creating beautiful melody. "Bogobe" is a reverb-filled psychedelic acoustic ballad with crashing cymbals and beats coming in towards the final minute.
The melodic title track "Zol!" has a more traditional South African rhythm with call and response vocals. "Paradise" is an epic ballad, Jazzy and laid back or fiery (with squealing guitars) in turn, and closing is "Mzabalazo", Kwaito rhythms against a wall of distorted guitars, hand claps and sporadic chants.
Shame it all ends too soon. Also recommended, their 2009 debut "After robots".

Well, now I understand why this is one of the best bands of South Africa
A new direction for rock. A little oxygen for that pot of influences in which this style of music is submitted.
Very nice work and very inspiring.
