# 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.
