Another track from Zola Jesus’ new album, Conatus has emerged today. Obviously it’s amazing. What I love about Nika is that she creates music that sounds like nothing else. She’s only 21 years old and she’s making better music than those that have years on her. Her dark sound is so atmospheric and at times, wonderfully chaotic. Extremely tense and perfect to lose yourself in. Her music makes your soul come alive, it just takes over parts of you that you hadn’t let alone else get to. A lot may insist that her sound is “Gothic.” Well you can call it that, I just call it beautiful because that’s what it is.

If the album has the same feel as Seekir and Vessel, it is evidently going to be one of the greatest albums of 2011.
