Zola Jesus has unveiled "Compass", the B-side to upcoming single "Hunger", and a series of European tour dates.

Explaining the both the tracks on her upcoming single, Jesus said: "Hunger is about the mania of trying to experience life before it’s over… constantly scraping and racing to figure out the proper course for existence. Compass, on the other hand, is about falling back and trusting your intuition. It’s like the resolution to the blinding passion of Hunger. Compass feels triumphant because in a sense it is - it’s the freedom of giving up control and letting yourself live without giving too much thought to it. Where Hunger is tense and erratic, Compass is loose and euphoric."

The "Hunger" single is set to be released 9 February on Mute.
