BLK JKS, post-rock made in South Africa

Marilou Forest — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:31:27 GMT

BLK JKS' highly anticipated full-length debut After Robots will be released September 8 on Secretly Canadian. Following the March release of their MYSTERY EP and return appearance at South by Southwest, South Africa's BLK JKS are receiving critical praise from The New York Times, SPIN, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, LA Weekly and more. Amidst all this critical praise the essence of BLK JKS' music — a collision of township blues, fringe jazz and renegade dub, heard via the lens of prog — shines through. Music from Africa has never quite sounded like this, as BLK JKS bring the concept of Afro-futurism into a new century. [Molalatladi from After Robots out 8 SEPT 09]

My world is empty without you

Marilou Forest — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 08:45:43 GMT

Yes, I now feel that it was then on that evening of sweet dreams- that the very first dawn of human love burst upon the icy night of my spirit. Since that period I have never seen nor heard your name without a shiver half of delight, half of anxiety. [Edgar Allan Poe] [My world is empty without you by Lee Field & The Expressions]

Nosaj Thing - Drift

Marilou Forest — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:04:15 GMT

Drift is the debut full length album from electronic producer Nosaj Thing. His electronic sound scapes and wild beat tectonics play like vignettes that affect the listener's mind as deeply as he hits their soul. Without a doubt, Nosaj Thing is among L.A.'s finest musical modulators. [Fog by Nosaj Thing]

Street

Marilou Forest — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 15:36:41 GMT

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. [Coco Chanel] (Keep the streets empty for me by Fever Ray)
