Zola Jesus debuted a second track, entitled “Go (Blank Sea)” from her already critically acclaimed release TAIGA, out October 7th, 2014 on Mute.  Explaining her inspiration for the song Nika says, “I wrote Go (Blank Sea) about the facelessness of city life. How is it you can walk down the busiest street of a metropolis, fighting through a current of busy moving bodies, yet feel completely isolated? All of the singularity rubs together to create a universal dull hum that can cancel us all out. It’s in the densest populations that I sometimes feel the most alone, and in barren uninhabited lands that I feel the most alive and human. It's a strange dichotomy, and something I explore a lot on TAIGA.” Listen to and share “Go (Blank Sea)”  here.

Zola Jesus also reveals exciting new details on the record release tour beginning in San Francisco on October 8th, hitting major cities in the US, UK and Europe.
