thanks :3

[@barzalover]

I can’t quite swallow that there are 112 people not liking this. The best live performance ever seen 😍

[@juicescoo]

I actually love the setting for this performance. Yes, it would be a better match for the sound to be set in front of a dark space with a wall of dramatic lights, but I think the people randomly walking by on the street does something special by placing something magical and as powerful as this in the real, living world. You don't see many KEXP performances open for the public to be a present audience, and I think that says something about how there must have been some recognition that this music needs to be heard by those common folk who may have never come across Zola Jesus in their lifetime if not for that one afternoon where they found themselves strolling down the road on the way back home from work.

[@TheCord]

I found her by accident. This is so awesome.

[@Jay-ef2ii]

In My case. I was on this Japanese site seeking music and I came across her. July 2023. USA.

[@del-marmare1646]

She will find you

[@FernandoPalaciosSimon]

Her voice is magical! Nika...

[@TsubasaAnimations]

I only came here for one song and ended up watching the whole thing. Damn you Nika and your hypnotic voice!

[@SengaORK24K]

I love the contrast between the atmosphere inside the live, and the exterior with the life going on, it's like a glass bubble in a different world.

[@gedoumazoutsuki]

actually loving this artist, she's so close and feel so real

[@sarahm.4926]

WHAT KIND OF BLACK MAGIC IS THIS 🖤 my little heart is blowing away right now 💕

[@silenthillmaster755]

Sarah M. Welcome to the family

[@danielselinger8209]

There is not that much music around that is that earnest, passionate, beautiful sung & produced like this. They're a gift

[@cautes]

Her passion is simply fascinating.

[@stanconnorstan4266]

I would say the production is amazing, but they're playing live. So props to them for creating a well textured soundscape in a live performance format.

[@BlackWhiteCloud]

They are playing samples, aren't they? The only live stuff is voice and guitar, so yeah, it's both things, production (on the samples) and live eq.

[@snarklar]

All of the kexp stuff is top tier

[@Mad1Lee]

She is like the most beautiful person when she sings, wow

[@pabloramirez-ov7pi]

I love you so much Zola Jesus..... From first records until nowadays 😇😘😍❤️😊😎

[@Pincer88]

This is incredible. Just when I thought there was hardly any new good music to be discovered, this gem passed like a comet.

[@snarklar]

There's more good music than ever if you look for it.

[@SummonSkeletons]

lol never! Can people stop saying there is no good music anymore, you don't sound cool or edgy saying so. There will always be good music. I cannot stress that enough. Turn off the radio and hunt for music.

[@greatpoochini1]

A blade of grass with a voice like a mountain. Brilliant.

[@justjosh711]

Nice. I like that.

[@Panangelium]

Just wonderful. Haven't been this excited about a singer since Chelsea Wolfe. She's the next big thing, hope she'll break through into a major radio audience since I know she wishes for that.

[@milekbrwafing]

She actually tried with her most pop-ish album Taiga - to record it she sing to Mute for one album. Unfortunately she didn't gain huge success comercially back then, and the critics weren't amused but in my opinion it was true turning point for her sonically and it was as neccessary for her development as any other album she recorded. Few years back when she toured my country with Okovi she also performed lead single from Taiga - Dangerous Days so it still must be important to her.

[@ejb5659]

She grew up a couple hours from me In Wisconsin, USA. Musically the BEST thing to come out of Wisconsin by far- and one of the very best voices to come out of the USA imho.

[@kaitlinfarrell4135]

Yeah I hated the name Zola Jesus and for some reason was under the impression that it was a psychedelic weirdo hippy thing like Devendra Banhart. Don't know where I got that idea but regardless, never thought twice about it til Okovi popped up in my band camp suggestion feed. Really really enjoyed it and was impressed with the singular sound she had going on. Then I saw she was based in Merrill, WI. The fuck? I went to high school 40 minutes north of there and then moved to Wausau (just a little ways south of Merrill) upon dropping out of high school so I likely knew or at least had seen this person around. She has a very distinctive face and I did indeed recognize her. Turns out she went to high school with my ex girlfriend in Wausau as well. Really strange experience to have something come full circle like that.

[@sophrosynebristol]

Maybe the best KEXP performance of all time.

[@ygoryanka3729]

Just after All Them Witches !

[@spacewombat6174]

Nah!

[@AunCollective]

There are so many really good ones that I wouldn't be willing to put this on top, but it's definitely one of my personal favorites.

[@dyspatcher]

Note to self: Listen to Zola Jesus more often

[@cockerspanishgirlkiri9974]

Yasssssssssssss

[@timrichards2380]

I'm in love. Goose bumps every song.

[@martinruiz9939]

Running through the forest with Siouxsie and the Banshees,Cocteau Twins,Dead can Dance,Bjork.......Good Voice

[@cockerspanishgirlkiri9974]

🤔😂😂😂😂😂

[@Spearheadgamer9231]

Martin Ruiz love Siouxsie and the Banshees!

[@kandykissesco]

Omg I was just going to say that😭😍😍😍😍😍

[@Machihekamake]

Yes very siouxsie in voice and very cocktail twins guitar. But also modern voice adornments

[@juliehealingleaf6211]

Loved all of them saw them all live but c twins which i loved

[@zenithquasar9623]

The dude is doing soo much with that guitar, I am so impressed! Love the sounds they used!

[@steeltrust68]

Dude is Alex DeGroot

[@michyrock1]

We are so lucky we have artists like her. I've been a die had fan of her since Conatus came out and I know she can never let me down, her music totally got me

[@danielromero8711]

Really the greatest performace ever played in KEXP

[@FrankBtc530]

incredible and vertiginous vocal experimentations, solid impact music with well-organized rhythm, excellent group!

[@mthvsn666]

Weird to see her perform in daylight.

[@jjbix37]

i stumbled onto this concert and after a minute, could not leave!! ZOLA J is powerful! Captivating!

[@petitemyrtille9137]

my favorite artist, my favorite album. She is brillant.

[@torpedosniper8586]

2019 and again and again I discover new music for myself. Zola Jesus penetrates deep into my innermost, brings feelings of unexpected proportions to the surface. Tears of happiness flood me....

[@Milklatte]

To add to this, it's clear not everyone is into this kind of expression but to me this is indeed intense and an actual performance that makes me ignore the fact that there is only a live voice and guitar sounds

[@Medytacjusz]

the worst kind of art is the one everyone's into :)

[@juliehealingleaf6211]

Reminds me of goth days...souxie and xymox great voice she could be in any genre to be honest...

[@Agothygoth]

I’m lost in a trance 🤤! Her voice is magical

[@theebronks]

she holds nothing back, the absolute best.

[@littlednme]

I saw her performance at the Upstream Festival she is fabulous. Her voice is absolutely incredible! ❤️

[@dugmai]

authentic and special, art-house music. thank you, Zola. love

[@luisangelmelorodriguez7371]

Always amazing performance!!! I love it !! Magnificent 🎼🎼🍷🍂🖤

[@JarretLaMark]

Damn, she is so talented. I was fortunate enough to see her perform at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, MA back when she released the string versions of a group of previous released songs. (2011 or so) It was in a beautiful and extremely intimate venue on the top floor of the ICA building in Boston's South Side Seaport, and overlooked Boston Harbor, night time, and she was back dropped by huge glass windows. She was fantastic, up and down the isles during the show, and of course she sounded incredible. A show I will never forget.

[@ItsaDaPope-a]

I just found this woman yesterday. Holy shit. Amazing.

[@BobRavet]

She just blew the doors off at the end!!! Awesome performance. Once again a BIG thanks goes out to the crew at KEXP. Amazing to get the level of quality recording in such an environment. Can't forget the videographers...AWESOME!!!!

[@Divuar]

Amazing! Been following her for a long time and I'm really glad she becomes famous step by step.

[@TH3_FURY]

Just....WOW ! What a band ! I discovered them at Moog Sound Lab, there is 5 years ago (time goes fast)...The singer voice is very special and absolutely beautiful !

[@dreadarek]

Absolutely amazing. Pure emotions.

[@tomfitz87]

full of pain, hope, love and thoughts

[@maurices.7141]

100% intense performance

[@ndc-01]

What a surprise!! I bought her first album many years ago and never knew anything about her until now. I´m glad to see she is in the way. Great performance.

[@LARK52776]

i've been listening you since i was 13 and you sound amazing!

[@justmeandmuhaha]

I keep returning to this. She's so magical and powerful

[@michelzenitud5524]

Psychédélique 🎸👍🎤sympathique voix J'adore ! Excellent groupe 👍👍

Felice di averti conosciuto musicalmente.... mi fai tremare la pelle ❤ ciao zola

[@tanveerbal3678]

This is absolutely stunning.

[@Velobetty]

This makes my heart sing...

[@jeanmaurice451]

AMAZING! What a HUGE voice and what a performance!

[@kgbinfo]

I think she’s a black lodge spirit

[@justanotherbeanboy9038]

Twin Peaks reference? ;)

[@davidbatan9413]

She signed my The Music of David Lynch vinyl. Her album cover for Conatus was inspired by Laura Palmer's dead body wrapped in plastic! She's a HUGE Lynch fan; David Lynch himself searched for her because he wanted to remix one of her songs that he loved so much!

[@garyinmarz8938]

@@davidbatan9413 no kidding!

[@alienjahjof4572]

Well Said.

[@cassandra2956]

@@davidbatan9413 wow, great inside information. So weird and yet so logical that there is so much music I like that is directly or indirectly related to Lynch, it is an emotional vibe that combines perfectly.

[@johannsimonot]

Another musical nugget find thanks to KEXP, thanks ;)

[@CodyChromeBand]

This is awesome...I love when ZJ does her thing next to like, the mundane pedestrians in bright sunlight. Soundtrack to gritty reality under its sheen. Also can appreciate Alex DG's guitar use here. I'm cautious of guitar participation but I finally get it. Love that ebow ADG. Nice document!

[@oktafinafransiska5696]

Org ini gila. Musik dan suaranya luar biasa. Musik yg sy cari selama ini. Biarpun ngk terlalu ngerti musik tapi yg kayak gini luar biasa kerennya. I've been watch your performance on radio. Its about 5 years ago and I like you till now. 👍👍👍

[@bolguevara]

saw her perform at p4k and she ended her set making whale noises while crawling through the audience towards the mixing tent

[@Medytacjusz]

lose yourself in the music / the moment / you own it / you better never let it go xD

[@mooseburger88]

I saw her at a special show at the Guggenheim, she jumped onto some structure and almost fell to her death.... in other words, ICONICCCC

[@styleemusic]

😂😂😂

[@meepo262]

I saw her probably 8 years ago in Memphis pouring peoples half finished beers on herself while standing on a table during a show. Her voice is amazing and she’s a great performer :)

[@jennifermanley8196]

I love her I found her by the off chance she was on a soundtrack to a series I watched and her voice is amazing x

[@danielem7237]

fantastic ! great exhibition !

[@styleemusic]

Soon Seattle won't be too expensive for you, love your music you have garnered a fan.

[@barbedwiretumbleweed]

She's wonderful.

Omg long overdue, soak gives me chills and I am grateful for her expression, I sing along! Thanks for sharing it

[@gabrielevan5527]

extremamente boa. não sei se me arrisco em pensar palavras pra formar frases na tentativa de descrever o quão magnífico isso é, mesmo sentindo a necessidade de fazer. isso foi transcendental do começo ao fim. zola jesus é brilhante!!!!
