Zola Jesus at Guggenheim (more by Amanda Hatfield) Just like Cold Cave (who are playing Northside), Zola Jesus is going from the Guggenheim back to something more conventional this summer. She and A$AP Rocky are the latest batch of artists...

Grand Resort is the project of Dominican Republic-born multi-instrumentalist Andrés Pichardo. Pichardo initially made his way to the States to study at a school in Massachusetts where he recorded the material for his debut album in his bedroom. Subsequently, Pichardo relocated to Brooklyn where he had the tracks mastered by Josh Bonati (The Men, Widowspeak, Zola Jesus). The gauzy, [...]

On the back of her third album in three years, NIKA ROZA DANILOVA , a.k.a. ZOLA JESUS , has been touring her native US and the globe. Before bringing her genre-bending soundscapes Down Under – including a slot at Vivid LIVE in Sydney – she talks NILS HAY through creative evolution and her proposed musical revolution.

Many fans will know it has been a patient wait for Saint Saviour 's (a.k.a. Becky Jones) debut album. After already being treated to the first single 'I Call This Home', the album Union follows June 25th. In the lead up for the release Saint Saviour has compiled an exclusive Spotify playlist for 405. Choosing her favourite songs at moment. Enjoy. 1. New France – Orbital – I just love what they have done with Zola Jesus’ vocal. I love Lady Leshurr on ‘Wonky’ too – she’s a feisty lady. The whole album is amazing, reminds me of being in ...

New York cyberpunks Pop. 1280 recently premiered their new video for "Bodies In The Dunes," their latest single. The video was directed by Jacqueline Castel, a hyper-talented director who makes tense, kinetic work under her Future Primitive production house. Castel's videos are stark and confrontational-she's created incredible work for Zola Jesus, Naked On The Vague, Blank Dogs, and a bunch of other pretty bleak and downbeat acts. The video is not for the faint of heart-it was based loosely on a Long Island serial killer who was responsible for murdering four prostitutes in cold blood and dumping their ...

Orbital ’s 2004 album Blue Album was supposed to be the British duo’s final legacy, leaving fans to mourn the loss of one of the 90s most heralded and unique electronica acts. But after a few years apart, Phil and Paul Hartnoll regrouped for what turned out to be a successful reunion world tour. Wanting to keep up the newfound momentum, but not wishing to become, in their own words, a “heritage act” - one that would play best of sets for the rest of their lives - the pair went back into the studio. The result was Wonky . The mixed ...

This runs live and in color, with amazing photographs by Diana Wong on Bowery's House List blog . To some, M83 has always had an uncanny resemblance to the John Hughes classic The Breakfast Club . This has nothing to do with the aesthetic reality that the band plays music with influences from the enormous synthesizers that so dominated mid-1980s pop music. Frontman Anthony Gonzalez possesses a knack for distilling human experience down to one frozen moment: a fist raised against a cloudy sky, a human story of difference and commonality, to say everything all at once, a frozen slice of ...
