Stream the new Zola Jesus album, Taiga
Next week, on Oct. 7, dark yet versatile electronic artist Zola Jesus will release Taiga, her highly anticipated follow-up to 2011’s Conatus, via Mute. Her latest is a step in a new direction for the Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter; this time around, she’s spending less time with ominous, gothic soundscapes and getting more comfortable with a bright electronic pop sound. It suits her quite well — we learned as much via the first single from the album, the excellent “Dangerous Days.” But the entire album is chock full of stunning synth-laden gems. And now you can hear them for yourself, because the entire album is streaming right now via the New York Times.
