Description:

Zola Jesus, the young empress of synth-pop/darkwave, whose last album, a return to Sacred Bones, was highly acclaimed. Zola Jesus will release her sixth album in five years, "Alcorn," with Randall Dunn, known as the producer of Sun O))), and legendary drummer Matt Chamberlain (Fiona Apple, Bob Dylan, David Bowie). Singer/songwriter/producer Nika Roza Danilova, who has been releasing her work as Zola Jesus since 2009, has a voice that cuts through reality, that breaks through habit, and that is the raw, raw power of experience. breaking through and reaching the raw nerve of experience. On previous albums, Danilova has created all of Zola Jesus' sounds and looks, and has definitively taken on the role of otour. However, realizing that "the desire for control shuts itself out of art," and unable to bear the frustration of not being able to create, Danilova has now asked for help.Demos were sent to producer Randall Dunn, known for his music for Sunn O))) and Johann Johannsson's film "Mandy". Collaboration also began with drummer/percussionist Matt Chamberlain, who has played on albums by Fiona Apple, Bob Dylan, and David Bowie Danilova began to develop a relationship with the "unknown" during the creative process. In "Arkhon," she focused on the direct experience of creating a work with others, rather than trying to retain it in its entirety, with unconscious moments of spontaneous play. The album's title, which means "power" or "ruler" in ancient Greek, has a particular value within Gnosticism. Gnosticism considers "Arkhon" to be power, exercised by a flawed god. They continue to defile, pervert, and corrupt humanity instead of allowing it to find its harmonious self. I feel that we are now living in an "Arkhon" age. These negative influences are weighing very heavily on all of us.There is power in titling it," Danilova says.
