BLK JKS, South Africa's favorite prog-rockers, are preparing Zol!, an EP to celebrate the World Cup being in South Africa. That said, it should not surprise you that the EP's first single, "Zol!," is a song about soccer, and it sounds like a crowd of South African soccer fans getting their chant on. Because that's what's going on over at Stereogum: This song doesn't sound like BLK JKS's past work all that much. Instead, it sounds more like native South African music in a way the band never has.
Zol! is due out on June 8.
