Zola Jesus is a beautiful woman from Madison, Wisconsin making beautiful music. The Spoils is an exercise of texture and mood creating an unsettling beautiful sound out of fuzzy synths, a hammering piano, and a drum machine. Her classically trained voice floats angelically over the comparably uglier, more industrial noise her band creates. Her songs build slowly adding layers of noise and wailing vocals until they reach an urgent apex, making the album an adventure you want to re-experience as soon as you are done.
As usual I am struggling to properly describe how amazing the work actually is. So check it out now, as Zola Jesus is sure to take off soon. With her internet hype building and a favorable score from Pitchforks you will most certainly be hearing more from this Madison artist. She's currently touring the midwest, with more American dates to follow this spring (including SXSW). So get out and see her live. I'm willing to bet you won't be disappointed.
