We can announce that Zola Jesus will be supporting Fever Ray in London, Paris and Glasgow on the September 2010 European tour.
Zola Jesus is the endeavor of a solitary girl named Nika Roza Danilova to simultaneously combat and invoke the approaching apocalypse using the only weapon she has; her voice. After a decade of opera training and a musical awakening involving such varied inspiration as Billboard bubblegum, classical aria’s, no wave, avant industrial, she was able to thread her influences into a sound uniquely her own.

Those who were lucky enough to catch Fever Ray play live at one of her sold out UK shows last year were uniformly spellbound. From the incredible laser show to the otherworldly pagan stagewear, and not least the spectacle of the self-titled debut album breathtakingly brought to life, these were golden tickets.
Yes, we did announce last year that Fever Ray was to play no further UK live dates, but due overwhelming public demand Karin and her band will come out of hibernation to play 2 more shows in London and Paris, as well as selected festival dates.
Fever Ray will play at London’s Brixton Academy on September 8th and Paris’ La Cigale on September 9th. Tickets are available from 9am Wednesday 10th March* at feverray.com/tickets

The Knife, Karin’s project with bother Olof, are to release the studio version of the opera ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’, in collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, on the 1st March 2010
Commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin and his book ‘On the Origin of the Species’, The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme. They extensively researched Darwin related literature and articles, with Olof attending a field recording workshop in the Amazon to find inspiration and to record sounds.
The first track from the album, called Colouring Of Pigeons, is free to download from the knife’s website here. You can also sign up for more news about The Knife there.
For more information about the album see the full introduction on theknife.net here.
Karin on Colouring Of Pigeons: “The title is taken from Charles Darwin’s studies of pigeons, a breakthrough of his examinations, coming home after The Beagle trip, it is when when he started to discover the genetics transfered within generations. It is a track maximizing the results of his studies. I thought of the “diversity of everything” something we have discussed a lot with Hotel Pro Forma, and a non-hierarchical way of seeing things. All the small details he studied and made notes of, like a pile of ants, an ants hill. Also a feeling of seeing things for the first time, overwhelming and shaken, but not afraid.”
