Zola Jesus streams new record Taiga
Named after the expansive bodies of snowy forest across Russia, Scandinavia and Canada, Zola Jesus' latest opus, Taiga, is just as wild and desolate.
Chris Lo was blown away in our review of the record:
"It’s Danilova’s utterly distinctive voice, a baritone wonder that wipes the floor with any number of today’s trendy falsetto trillers for sheer power and commitment, that provides the connective tissue, the key to widening her sound while preserving its depth. It’s that sense of balance – the epic and the intimate, the light and the shade, the coldness and the warmth – that puts Taiga in contention with Stridulum II as Zola Jesus’ best work, the purest distillation of an ever-searching soul."
You can stream the record in full over on the New York Times' website.
Taiga is out 6 October on Mute.
