Zola Jesus
Madtown opera-goth Zola Jesus got a decent notice in the NYT this morning:
Some tracks from “Stridulum,” her new EP on Sacred Bones, come across like proper love songs. (“I Can’t Stand” offers solace to a friend who’s given up on love: “I can’t stand to see you this way,” she howls from her great height, “It’s gonna be alright.”) They’ve still got sulfurous echo and war drums in the background, but they’re comforting dreams, not nightmares.
Pitchfork has an interview.
