Straight from Wisconsin to your ears! Zola Jesus unveils new album, TAIGA via The New York Times' Press Play series.  But this was just a sneak peak. The album in its entirety will be released October 7th, 2014 on Mute. If you're not familiar with Zola Jesus, it is ear candy for pop lovers with lots of catchy and contagious hooks and Listen to TAIGA in its entirety here.

For her 5th studio album, Nika relocated to Vashon Island in the Puget Sound to fully immerse herself in the environment from which the music was inspired. The taiga is the world’s largest terrestrial biome; a wild boreal forest covering large portions of Russia, referred to as the Northwoods where it connects in North America, including all of Canada and large portions of Eurasia.

 To Nika, the taiga represents boundlessness; no law, just survival - at once innocent and raw, embodying naivety from its purity, yet at its core unforgiving and savage.  According to the artist: “The music on the record is massive, with big brass and beats, crystal clear vocals.
