Slow Songs Of The 80s

Zola Jesus - love at second glance

your surely knows: At some point grabs you in the name of a band or a musician may hear one of their songs ... and forgets the whole thing again (made) a second time until attention is.

And now you take the time it deserves and digs a little deeper ... until they discovered an album full of musical gems. Finally, one must ask, how could it happen that you went smooth the first time over it. Imagine the consequences if it were not for the second time.

what happened at the latest album from Zola Jesus alias Nika Roza Danilova, a Amerkanerin with Russian roots. The album, which we are going to say Stridulum II and is the essence of a pool of about 50 songs by the artist mostly at home has started. Specifically speaking, it does not really new album, but only a third of the nine songs are previously unreleased. The rest is from the EP Stridulum.

Zola Jesus convinces Stridulum II with an expressive voice is somewhere between Siouxsie Sioux and Alanis Morissette.Untermalt the singing of a mixture of industrial bonds, noise samples, Cold Wave sequences and Singer / Songwriter structures . Overall spread the songs of the album a romantically gloomy, sometimes morbid atmosphere.

Stridulum II is an album which is on the path away from the mainstream and the popular alternative / indie rail moves. It is conspicuous by its innovative, avant-garde character and is the opposite of boring. But it demands the listener's attention, it needs to the new, to explore different and the time to understand this. For me it would be almost gone wrong. To help that you may not commit the same mistake, here are support for the ears (in the form of two older songs of the 12 "CD The Spoils for free download) and eyes (in the form of links to informative web sites).
