About this item

Debut solo album from DC polymath Jack Abok. When not making zines and visual art, singing for Des Demonas' or drumming AND singing for SEXFACES, Abok's busied himself by bringing this, his most personal and ferousious vision, to (immortal) life with VAMPYRES FROM AFRICA.

11 tracks of electro punk, melding Abok's massive love for the delta blues, post punk, Krautrock and hip hop. Or, in his own words:

VAMPYRES FROM AFRICA MANIFESTО:

1. Ideas > skill
2. Don't be a musician
3. Cool > smart
4. It's not about money or being liked, it's about expressing ourselves.
5. Bands should have an expiration date
6. Fuck originality!
7. Don't stop creating

And Syd's Angelika Piper at the Gates of Dawn:

"All movements is accomplished in six stages And the seventh brings return The seven is the number of the young light It forms when darkness is increased by one Changel return / success Going and coming without error Action brings good fortune Sunset"
