December 11, 2009 12:00 AM ET

This summer, Rolling Stone featured South African psych-rockers BLK JKS in our Artists to Watch special, and now we're happy to bring you the premiere of the band's new video for "Molalatladi," the opening track on their excellent debut After Robots.

The clip was filmed in September in New York (the performance shots were taken at downtown club Santos Party House, and the beach images were captured at the city's legendary Coney Island), and bonus footage comes via the directors of the film Sanza Hanza from South Africa.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
