So there's this band from Jacksonville that goes by the name of The Black Kids. Only two of which are black as you can see, and only one of the four is truly 100% black. I don't intend on making an issue out of any of this, because it's not, but it is hard to overlook a thing like that when you've got a name such as they do.
Anyways, despite the name, The Black Kids have recently released a great little EP called, Wizard of Ahhhs, and boy is this thing bumping. Now I hate doing shit like this, but if I were to dabble a little recipe of sounds to come up with The Black Kids' sound, I'd say traces of old 50's and 60's Doo-Wop, maybe some 80's synth, and I can't help but say a touch of Beat Happening (or just twee pop in general). Each of those on its own are fantastic, but put that shit together in a band and you've got some real action.
So everyone put your dancing shoes on and check out The Black Kids! And if you like what you hear down below, the band's got their other two tracks from the EP on the oh so necessary Myspace.
Enjoy, guys!
