Zola Jesus Announces Tour Dates For North America & Europe
By: Caryn Robbins Jul. 15, 2014
Zola Jesus has revealed more details, including cover art and tracklisting for her forthcoming album, 'Taiga', out October 7th, 2014 on Mute.
Nika is the 25-year-old behind Zola Jesus' creative incarnations as sole singer and songwriter. Influenced by her time in Iceland, Vermont, and British Columbia, 'Taiga' was written on Vashon Island, WA and conjures all such places, transporting the listener while creating a very special sonic landscape of its own. Nika tracked and mixed the album in Los Angeles with co-producer Dean Hurley (David Lynch, Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse).
At once challenging and accessible, 'Taiga' is a transition for Zola Jesus. Undeniably branded with what Nika terms a "piercing ambition," the album is best described by the artist herself: "The music on the record is massive, with big brass and beats, crystal clear vocals...It's the most accessible music I've ever made, but also the most earnest and passionate. I gave everything for this record, more than ever before."
