Zola Jesus

Nika Danilova, better known as Zola Jesus, will be coming to Signal kitchen to share music from her latest release, titled Taiga. Danilova started released music in 2009, recording and releasing her album The Spoils from her apartment in Madison, Wisconsin. Her deep, dark mix of electronic, pop, industrial, and experimental sounds has opened the door for a prolific career, which has already seen three EP releases and five full-length album releases. Danilova’s creative process has taken her out of Wisconsin and to the natural surroundings of Vashon Island in the Puget Sound, where she has taken reclusive refuge to focus on her music. A student of philosophy, she often looks to the great thinkers of history for inspiration in her music which has translated in real-world changes in her creative process and her songwriting methods, which seem to constantly evolve throughout each album while retaining a strong, confident sense of identity. We are enthused about her trip to Burlington and cannot wait to hear what she has in store for us.
