BLK JKS explore wide range of sounds on full-length debut, ‘After Robots’

At a time when roughly half of all indie-rock acts — the ones not busy churning out noisy, no-fi surf-pop singles — are looking to Africa for inspiration, it’s fitting a group like BLK JKS should come along.

That’s exactly what Visqueen delivers on the first song from the band’s latest, “Message to Garcia.” With its spiky guitars, battering-ram drums [...]
