ZOLA JESUS – New song and video posted online !
Seasons greetings,
Spring is officially here and with that we bring you news of the highly anticipated new album from Zola Jesus: ARKHON. Watch the stunning video directed by Mu Tunc for the first single “Lost,” filmed in Cappadocia which is known for its enchanting cave dwellings. ARKHON is out everywhere on May 20th and you can pre-order the record on Sacred Bones exclusive tan and milky clear vinyl or grab an exclusive from our partners at Rough Trade, Vinyl Me Please, Newbury, Urban Outfitters and Deathwish.
There is a way a voice can cut through the fascia of reality, cleaving through habit into the raw nerve of experience. Nika Roza Danilova, the singer, songwriter, and producer who since 2009 has released music as Zola Jesus, wields a voice that does that. When you hear it, it is like you are being summoned – not to somewhere new, but to a place that’s already wrapped inside you, somewhere previously obscured from conscious experience. This place has been buried because it tends to hold pain and Zola Jesus’s new album, ARKHON, finds new ways of loosing this submerged, stalled pain.
ARKHON is the product of a psychic death. The aftermath of a natural disaster. On Zola Jesus’s first collaboration with producer Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Jóhann Jóhannsson, Candyman soundtrack) she reaches deep inside herself, beyond ego or control, to unleash her most provocative and powerful music to date.
