For a long time music in South Africa, like the society that created it, was divided. Phrased Differently is a great selection of South African sounds and provides a fresh take on the local landscape. Lately I have felt that the lines that separated our music are beginning to blur and in these smudges, new forms are growing like fungus on a wall. In the cracks, you can see bands like the BLK JKS, Tidal Waves and Buckfever Underground and artists like Paul Hanmer and Tumi defining new musical languages for South Africa.
