Tsar Bomba by Zola Jesus

5...according to our on Thu 05 Mar, 2009.

Intriguing release from Zola Jesus, a mini LP on Troubleman called 'Tsar Bomba'. She's trained in Opera studies and loves everything from No Wave to Classical arias and her emotive, tragic vocals carry along this unique trajectory, coming across a little like Julee Cruise & Kate Bush buried under this wonderful layer of discordance whilst industrial bass pulses & a John Carpenter-esque drum machines worm their way into your soul. It's like some distorted minimal dark-wave torch song shit, very Lynchian in it's eerie, otherworldly feel. Songs veer off into wild sludgy flatfields of sonic fall-out but the voice creeps back through the melee, like Bat For Lashes remixed by the DHR set or Cobra Killer. Fucking interesting record, yes I want this.....
