So everybody probably knows how obsessed I am with Austra. So I guess it was only a matter of time before I became obsessed with Zola Jesus (even though she technically has been "around" for a little longer). I've heard Austra's music being compared to Zola Jesus for a while, but I finally gave her a listen and fell in love. Similar to Austra's Katie Stelmanis, Zola Jesus (the stage name for singer Nika Roza Danilova) is a classically trained Opera singer who offsets her beautiful vocals with dark, gothic synth rock. It's fantastic. I just got her newest album in the mail today and found out last week that she's coming to Salt Lake in February, the day after my birthday. Here's a video of her performing "Poor Animal," the first song I heard by her and still my favorite.
