## Description

Nika Roza Danilova has been recording music as Zola Jesus for more than a decade. For the majority of that time, she's been on Sacred Bones Records, and Okovi marks her reunion with the label. Fittingly, the 11 electronics-driven songs on Okovi share musical DNA with her early work on Sacred Bones. The music on this record was written in pure catharsis, and as a result, the sonics are heavier, darker, and more exploratory. In addition to the contributions of Danilova's longtime live bandmate Alex DeGroot, producer/musician WIFE, cellist/noise-maker Shannon Kennedy from Pedestrian Deposit, and percussionist Ted Byrnes all helped build the textural universe of these songs. Above all, Zola Jesus has crafted a profound meditation on loss and reconciliation that stands tall alongside the great works of it's genre. Okovi speaks of tragedy with great wisdom and clarity. It's songs plumb dark depths, but they reflect light as well.

In some ways,  Zola Jesus is the Daenerys Targaryen of pop music.  Despite her talent, she's been exiled to a musical land far away from the mainstream, but has nevertheless created her own personal empire.  Even though few people believed in her at first, she persevered, and now almost anybody who hears her voice will become convinced.  Also, she literally has dragons.  That's right, literal freaking dragons that breathe scorching, purifying fire.  Okay, that last part probably isn't true, but it should be.Her last album, Taiga, was an attempt to translate her darkwave vision to a mainstream pop audience (a.k.a. Westeros), but she was repelled in her attempt.  The pop audience wants a happy party, and Danilova wants her fun to be meaningful.  So with Okovi, she's back to her adopted homeland (Mereen?), and she wants to break our shackles ("okovi" translates to "shackles" in some Slavic languages--maybe even Dothraki, for all I know).  Many of the songs address depression and even suicide, but she seeks an emotional connection as a step in recovery.  On "Siphon" she identifies with someone considering suicide, asking him to hold on--"We want to clean the blood of a living man..."  Meanwhile, "Veka" could be about how we live on in the memories of others--"Who will find you/when all you are...is dust?"  Musically, it's the rare goth song that people could dance to, but you could just as easily feel or think to it as well.  "Soak" is a gospel song that atheists can love, and "Exumed" is just plain amazing; a post-industrial aria of survival.There are some moments here where she gets a little too musically conservative for my taste.  If I wanted musicians and singers to play it safe, I'd watch one of those ridiculous TV singing competitions.  At her best, Danilova is capable of burning any American Idol to the ground.  Which reminds me of those darn dragons.  If her songs are her children, and her kids wield such power, then Zola Jesus is truly the Mother of Dragons--and no one could just make that stuff up.
