About this product
With a wrecking crew rhythm section, debonair vocals, and guitar concoction of one part shred and two parts soul, BLK JKS shoot an African music sensibility through the tenets of rock. It's easy to politicize them. Here's a band that's instantly young, black and fly even as they reclaim styles that have been stolen, watered down, and regurgitated for generations. And yet to get caught up in anything but their sound is to sell this phenomenon short, because as musicians - as artists - BLK JKS simply cook.

It's been too long since anyone was able to bring this much soul and heartblood to Progressive Rock, a medium that has been left cold and dry by a misguided focus on technical show-offery. But by entangling the music they love township Blues, fringe Jazz and renegade dub into the DNA of prog, BLK JKS have provocatively pulled afro-futurism into a new century. AFTER ROBOTS has all the ingredients of a party record but this is not party music. It's at times disorienting and overwhelming, but it always maintaining a cool, alluring mystique.

While FIFA may have already selected it's theme song for the Cup, we'll let you in on a secret. The unofficial anthem ? the song kids in Soweto are singing on their way to matches ? is not something imported or made for the moment. It has lived there, waiting for the world to turn it's ears to South Africa, just now. Secretly Canadian is stoked to present you with ZOL!, the new BLK JKS ep just in time for the World Cup.
