BLK JKS x NME

In which a certain Gavin Haynes travels to his native SA to find that the music scene is alive and well.

BLK JKS even get a mention!

Choice quote: "Meanwhile, an all-black group of childhood friends from Jo'burg's East Rand townships styled themselves as BLK JKS and began mixing the sounds of the psychedelic American underground with the afro-jazz they'd grown up with, forging the sort of enveloping art-rock swirl you'd expect from a back to basics TV On The Radio."

Gavin does double duty, blogging about his trip and his writing here.

Thanks to Peggy Unltd for the tip!
