“TAIGA’s powerful new single” – Exclaim!   “Hunger is a club-ready banger, replete with sputtering beats, synthetic horns and glitch-twitchy production.” – Popmatters   “On ‘Hunger,’ live trombone shook the building like a Christopher Nolan movie soundtrack.” KEXP live review

Zola Jesus shares an epic, emotive, electro-fueled new track entitled “ Compass” today.  This B-side will be made commercially available on February 10th, 2015, along with a newly mixed version of “Hunger” by Zola Jesus band mate Alex DeGroot and Mute founder Daniel Miller. Nika describes both tracks on the single; “’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.”  Listen to “Compass” here.   Watch + share the video (directed by Allie Avital Tsypin / BANGS) for “Hunger” here, and see below forworldwide tour dates in 2015.
