ZOLA JESUS
Stridulum EP - (2010)

Since her debut lp for Sacred Bones last summer, Zola Jesus's profile has grown exponentially. Her video for Clay Bodies debuted on The Fader and her likeness was plastered all over the Internet. The Spoils made dozens of year-end lists including The Wire, Pitchfork, The Fader, and Dusted, and fans and critics alike now seem rabid for new material. So without further ado, here is Stridulum, the new, far less lo-fi 6-song ep from Nika Roza Danilova. Recording her vocals for the first time with professional instruments, Nika's voice is brought to the powerful forefront of the mix unleashing the full range of emotions that had previously only been hinted at in her previous work. It's a siren song for the apocalypse, which manages to come across immensely nurturing at the same time.
