Zola Jesus - In Your Nature (David Lynch Remix)

204

While Russian-American singer-songwriter Zola Jesus isn’t exactly the biggest fan of remixes, she recently allowed the multi-talented David Lynch to rework her Conatus featured track “In Your Nature.” The combination of her consistent refusal to strip her work of its original flavor, combined with the legendary genius of Lynch should be enough to market the offering as a high-profile remix. Stream the hit below, and be on the lookout as Zola Jesus is set to kick off her tour later this month.

Zola Jesus Collaborates with JG Thirlwell and The Mivos Quartet / Performing together May 10 @ The Guggenheim in NYC

For her upcoming performance at the Guggenheim May 10, 2012, Zola Jesus has enlisted the talents of one of her most deeply admired performers, JG Thirlwell. Thirlwell is a composer/ producer/ performer based in Brooklyn, who also works under many pseudonyms including Manorexia, Foetus, Steroid Maximus and several others. If there is a common thread to his varied musical styles, it is a dramatic intensity and an evocative, cinematic quality. JG has collaborated with an extraordinary roster of artists including, Nine Inch Nails, Excepter, Kronos Quartet and The The; his compendium is a virtual who’s who of every exceptional experimental recording artist of the last thirty years.

For this performance, JG has arranged nine of Nika’s songs for string quartet, and enlisted the Mivos Quartet. Nika and the quartet will perform original arrangements from her last two albums, Stridulum and Conatus, while JG acts as musical director. It promises to be a uniquely special evening for fans of both artists. Tickets go on sale April 17th for members and April 18th to the general public.

And if you missed this last week, be sure to listen to Zola Jesus on NPR’s World Café, available to stream here.
