Zola Jesus unleashes a brand new remix for critically acclaimed single “Dangerous Days” from DFA powerhouse Juan Maclean. The track has been lauded as “an elegant synth-pop banger” (SPIN), “freaking addictive” (NYLON), “a full-on anthem” (Flavorwire), and received Best New Music from Pitchfork in addition to hitting the Top 20 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart.  Listen to Juan Maclean’s reworking of this anthemic track here. Zola Jesus’s TAIGA is due for release October 7th, 2014 on Mute.  First single “Dangerous Days” is now available to stream here, and the album is available to pre-order here.  Nika’s record release tourbegins in San Francisco on October 8th, hitting major US cities, before the UK and Europe. Full list of dates is below, and tickets are on sale now here.  Watch the tour trailer here. Nika is the 25-year-old behind Zola Jesus’ creative incarnations as sole singer and songwriter.  Influenced by her time in Iceland, Vermont, and British Columbia, TAIGA was written on Vashon Island, WA and conjures all these places while creating a sonic space of its own that each listener can travel to, explore, hide in, and celebrate. Nika tracked and mixed the album in Los Angeles with co-producer Dean Hurley (David Lynch, Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse). At once challenging and accessible, TAIGA is a transition for Zola Jesus. Undeniably branded with what Nika terms a “piercing ambition,” the album is best described by the artist herself: “The music on the record is massive, with big brass and beats, crystal clear vocals…It’s the most accessible music I’ve ever made, but also the most earnest and passionate. I gave everything for this record, more than ever before.”
