Music To Drink Tea To - 006 - Zola Jesus

We're ecstatic to share with you an hour of absolute power from the venerable Zola Jesus aka Yung Zeej. As the sixth episode in our Music To Drink Tea To mix series, we couldn't be more delighted to have Zola Jesus contributing her darkly introspective talents to the growing lineup. 

Settle in to your tea table (or couch) and float away to moody rumination and silky, evolving tones.

About the Artist

Nika Roza Danilova has been recording and performing as Zola Jesus for more than a decade. As a classically trained opera singer with a penchant for noisy, avant-garde sounds, she launched her career with a series of lo-fi releases that pitted her soaring vocals against harsh industrial clatter and jittery synths. Her work became more hi-fi as she began to explore her own skewed vision of pop music on releases like Stridulum, Valusia, and Conatus. That era culminated in the release of Versions, a collection of string quartet interpretations of her most beloved work, conducted by J.G. Thirlwell (Foetus). That album and subsequent tour were followed by her most hi-fi outing to date, Taiga. In 2017 she returned to both the Wisconsin woods in which she was raised and her longtime label, Sacred Bones Records, to release Okovi, her darkest album yet.
