BLK JKS - Abantu/Before Humans (LP)

Monster grooves meet guitar and brass driven afro-rock. Echoes of spiritual jazz, post-apocalyptic funk, renegade dub and kwaito. Features Malian guitarist Vieux Farka Tour? and Beastie Boys accomplice Money Mark on the track 'Maiga'. 'Now with Abantu/ Before Humans' this present has a fiercely retro-futuristic fresh moniker: Afropunk. These brothers just want to jam. To say BLK JKS poured gas on the fire down below or lit the flames that created the soundtrack for the nascent Afropunk movement in their home country of South Africa especially? would not be too far off the mark.
