Emerging in the early 2000s, Blk Jks mix elements of new wave, progressive rock and traditional South African music. Known for their intense live performances and poetic lyrics, they make nods towards bands such as The Mars Volta and TV On The Radio, while maintaining a unique style of their own. Tireless experimenters, their dedication got them noticed by American label Secretly Canadian, who released two EPs and an album by the band, bringing their work to the attention of discerning listeners the world over. Our playlist is the perfect introduction to Blk Jks' work.
