ZOLA JESUS
– Teams up with WeTransfer for premiere of “Ash To Bone (Johnny Jewel Remix)”
– LP ‘Okovi: Additions’ out April 6th via Sacred Bones Records
Zola Jesus is pleased to share the video for “Ash to Bone (Johnny Jewel Remix)” which was co-directed by Zola Jesus and Jenni Hensler, exclusively available on WeTransfer’s editorial platform WePresent for 48 hours. The track is taken from Zola Jesus’ new album of previously unheard tracks and remixes titled Okovi: Additions, due out April 6th via Sacred Bones.
Based on a track originally from 2017’s Okovi, this remixed version arose from a mutual, longstanding appreciation. “As a longtime fan of Johnny Jewel’s work,” Nika Roza Danilova explains “it was surreal to hear him re-work ‘Ash To Bone.’ Hearing his arrangement was like experiencing a collision of musical worlds. It was as if this is how the song was always supposed to sound.” While the remarkably prolific Jewel muses “I had the acapella playing on loop one morning in the piano room. Her lyrics were so vividly mournful through the hazy fog…I turned over the hourglass, pulled back the curtains, opened the window, & let Nika’s voice soar.”
