Too challenging to easily understand, too bombastic to ignore, the BLK JKS demanded attention, but the majority of South Africans remained blissfully unaware.
For the most part the BLK JKS were like a cultural oddity, which if ignored for long enough, would quietly disappear. The BLK JKS’s story could have ended there, like so many before them, but they got out, got noticed and got signed.
Now, courtesy of the label Secretly Canadian, we have the debut album, After Robots, which is going to take South African music to places it’s never been before.
