All the way from Cape Town in South Africa, comes the local Vampire Weekend-esque\u00a0<\/em>band called John Wizards<\/strong>. Revealed by multiple blogs already and acquainted with the likes of Jagwar Ma<\/em> whilst they\u2019ll be supporting the \u201cAussie Hit Machine\u201d\u00a0on the UK leg of their tour! Listen to their new single material below as well as this cracking mixtape they\u2019ve put together for The Quietus who describe the band and their debut as<\/a> :<\/p>\n

John Wizards\u00a0is an infectious, spacious hybrid pop record, feeling centred around African musics but untethered to any one particular style \u2013 as Mu put it, it draws in elements of \u201cAfrican music, R&B and chamber pop, filtered through gentle electronic arrangements that cross-pollinate with South African house, Shangaan electro and dub\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You cannot go wrong. Really.<\/p>\n
