Zola Jesus
Best Albums of 2011 (Part 3)
Chris is pretty noncommittal when it comes to naming his top albums of 2011. To make him more comfortable, we’ll be referring to this list as “Chris Atto’s favorite albums during his lunch break on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 that were released in the past year.” He also mentions Zola Jesus’ elusiveness which might have … Continue reading
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Pts 1-4)
Sarah Braunstein and Rchl Brwn discuss Zola Jesus’s latest release, Conatus, for AudioVole this week. The conversation digresses and regains focus. Sarah and Rchl like some of the same songs but also different ones. They both want to witness Zola’s freaky acid-trip opera when she gets around to writing it. Oh! And both Sarah and Rchl … Continue reading
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Part 4)
Rchl drops some harsh language on the fact that Sarah is at the Zola Jesus concert while Rchl writes her response. Sarah shrugs her shoulders and says “hey, sometimes artists travel from west to east.” ZJ will be in NYC next week.
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Part 3)
Sarah starts out strong in Part 3 but gets distracted by talking about Darwin-inspired operas. She could’ve put a stop to this; after all, she is the editor and has no problem getting out the red pen. But if she cut out that digression she wouldn’t get to mention Coldplay, a move that should boost … Continue reading
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Part 2)
Rchl drives the Zola Jesus love-fest forward by finding the perfect pop song on Conatus. Readers should know that Rchl’s definition of “perfect” involves a hefty amount of gloom so don’t come around here expecting any uplifting shit. All we’ve got is a sci-fi opera involving acid baths.
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Part 1)
Brandon’s been doing too much of the talking so AudioVole becomes a girls’ club this week (hurray!). Sarah Braunstein and Rchl Brwn “sit down” to discuss Zola Jesus’ latest release, Conatus. Sarah and Rchl have never actually met so reading this dialectic should be kind of like witnessing a blind date unfold (that is, if … Continue reading
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 6)
André corrects the record and demands more Zola Jesus. Word. Seconded.
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 4)
Brandon is torn like Natalie Imbruglia. Remember that? I just took you back, son. This is the most Natalie Imbruglia’s been talked about in 10 years. In news relevant to M83, Brandon questions André’s assertion that the album is full of filler, masturbates to Rita Hayworth, breaks up with shuffle – the whore – and … Continue reading
