Zola Jesus shares B-side ‘Compass’

The next single from Zola Jesus’ 2014 album, ‘Taiga’ is released on Monday (9th February).

It’s set to be backed by ‘Compass’, a track now streaming.

Explaining the song - as well as its A-side, Nika says: “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.”

The single comes before a string of European tour dates, beginning on 10th March at Schwuz in Berlin.
