June 25, 2010: BLK JKS
















Artist: BLK JKS
Album: Zol! [EP]
Year: 2010

More great groundbreaking stuff from BLK JKS. This is actually the first EP we've done so far, so that's pretty groundbreaking as well. Opener "Iietys" is pretty straightforward for a prog-rock act, but driven by strong percussion and always lively, and, hell, pretty danceable. "Bogobe" is distant and drenched in reverb, while title track "Zol!" is triumphant and celebratory in tone and is a real highlight. It's very... soccer, not surprising consider the band's roots and home in conjunction with the World Cup in Africa. "Paradise" is the most natural song on the album for the act, displaying the heroics they are known for. A good teaser, and hopefully they'll get another full-length out for us soon enough.
