BLK JKS to play Minneapolis’ Global Roots Festival
BLK JKS’ forthcoming full-length debut After Robots will be released via Secretly Canadian this coming September 8. From Drowned in Sound:

‘After Robots’ is incredible. One of the most interesting bands around today. Too bad there’s no west coast dates…
Sorry, but the worst show I’ve ever been to in Minneapolis. All talented musicians but zero cohesion as a live group. Seriously, go back to the drawing board fellas. The album is great, but they don’t tour with a producer.
