Zola Jesus

Description:

Zola Jesus is the solo project of Nika Roza Danilova, who has been called the young dark queen of the US underground and has been highly acclaimed in domestic and international media along with the rise of darkwave bands such as Cold Cave and Grimes. After 3 years since her last album "Tyga", she is back with Sacred Bones! The new album is the result of her return from New York, where she is based, to Wisconsin, where she was born and raised, to confront her childhood roots and personal traumas. The title "Okovi" means "bondage" in Slavic language. People are born bound by various things. Life, death, body, disease, duty, birthright... We are bound by them at the moment of our birth, and we are not free from them until we die. Zola says. By reexamining her own roots, she came up with a philosophical question. The result is a dark, avant-garde work that is close to her early sound. The single "Exhumed," which has already been released, won Best New Music on Pitchfork and is a welcome return to a sound closer to her early days.Described as "the closest thing we have to a post-Björk", her revival is sure to be an important work of 2017!
