EB Premiere: Zola Jesus – “Dangerous Days”
# EB Premiere: Zola Jesus – “Dangerous Days” It seems that [Zola Jesus][1]{: target="_blank"} has created a theme for her forthcoming album, *Taiga*: magical coniferous forests. The title of the record refers to a Russian word for the boreal forests, which Zola describes as a "feral, untapped world that could happily exist without us", and the video for "Dangerous Days" seems to depict just that. Zola is the only human in the clip; she's seen traveling via boat across a glassy lake and standing in a dense forest wearing various drape-y garments. The whole thing has the vibe of *Lord of the Rings* or *Game of Thrones* in that it seems to take place in an alternate, enchanted, and vaguely-medieval universe, until it evolves into full-on CGI wizardry. Check out the exclusive European video premiere here before Mute releases *Taiga* on October 6th. [1]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/artist/zola-jesus/
