// Zola Jesus

dark pop, gothic rock, psychedelic \\

So she's a bit on the dark side. But they've got cookies, so that's not a problem. And that wasn't funny. 

Her real name is Nika Roza Danilova and she's also a member of Former Ghosts. She's 21 years old and comes from Phoenix, Arisona.  Her second album came out in March and has a quite disturbing cover. But I like it. I like it. It's called Stridulum II and it's named after a '70s sci-fi film. She's already got another album in stores, called The Spoils, which came out in 2009. She started studying music at the early age of 10, when she studied opera. She became Zola Jesus in her teens, when she started writing songs in her bedroom, like most of these hipstery type of artists too. Bedroom songwriting is hipster. Yup. 

Her sound is quite dark. A kind of dungeon-y thingy going on. Well some of her songs. And others are just full of despair. But she's good. She's come to stay.

And the problem is. I don't know which songs to put on here. Anyway.
