When it comes to dark sounds, nobody holds the torch higher than Zola Jesus. The diminutive ice queen has established herself as a versatile experimentalist, moving beyond her lo-fi industrialized beginnings into realms of cold, moving beauty.

Bring a taste of autumn leaves and chill winds into your summer; listen below.
