Zola Jesus gives away new single, ‘Dangerous Days’

Zola Jesus has unveiled the first track from her new album, ‘Taiga’.

‘Dangerous Days’ is a stomping synth number that builds from simple padded out rhythms into something bordering on euphoric - it’s the most streamlined track she’s put her name to for a long time.

‘Taiga’ (out 5th October), was recorded and produced by Nika Danilova. Her fourth album, its title refers to the Russian name of the boreal forest - “For me it feels very alive… very expansive,” she says in a statement. “There are taiga forests in Northern Wisconsin where I was raised, and also in Russia where my ancestors are from, so it also feels very native.”

The track’s available as a free download in exchange for an email address on zolajesus.com.
