BLK JKS - Mystery EP (hear “Lakeside”)
One of the worst band names ever, attached to a pretty darn tootin’ bunch of jumbled up styles which really does sound as much like T.V. on the Radio as people say, although it’s more like a great other band playing a lost TVOTR album, that is to say, it’s really the songwriting which bears a resemblance, and speaking of resemblance it must be noted that most of said comparisons to said band are based less on said songwriting than on each band being an experimenting rock band largely composed of people of African descent, but the instrumentation and production approach are, while varied and interesting in each band, very different, and although I never love this album when I listen to it, I keep returning to it, so I must like it more than I realize, with a cool whistle in the first track.
Now they have a new one out, but here’s the old one, which has been floating around for a year or so: at lala.com.
