A spectacular version of ‘Night’ by Zola Jesus for The Soundcheck Sessions helped by some pounding reverbed drums and expansive ghostly vocal production. I prefer this to the recorded version.
In other Zola Jesus news, she recently lent vocals to a Burial Hex tune (as debuted on Stereogum) . The original 20-minute version can be heard at Ernes Time. She also plays the Picnic.

She also collaborated with Prefuse 73 for his new album The Only She Chapters as well on this joint mixtape:
