“Lakeside,” the EP of Johannesburg band, BLK JKS, is number 3 on SPIN Magazine’s “20 Best Albums of the Year … Thus Far.” On its blog SPIN editors write “… This strange, fascinating EP dramatizes the desperate fumbling for order amid chaos. BLK JKS’ cliché-free strategy would sustain a terrific full-length, hopefully soon.”
Other notable entries: Amadou and Marian is No.6 with “Welcome to Mali”
Is there any way of getting hold of a physical BLK JKS album? Have heard so much about them but I have yet to see their album in any record store in ZA.
