Swinging Jaw: Zola Jesus

Zola Jesus is mainly Nika from Wisconsin, though she has friends called Lindsay, Max Elliott and Dead Luke who help her play live. She studied opera for ten years and takes just as much inspiration from no-wave. She bridges the gap between those two distant pillars with tendencies toward the epic and Jefferson Airplane covers, all painted with the DIY glamour of U.S. Girls and Nite Jewel and a hopelessness that bit prettier than SALEM’s.
