Live at Roadburn 2018 is the first live LP from the artist born Nika Danilova. She had been invited to play the hardcore and doom festival Roadburn as part of a day curated by Jacob Bannon of Converge. The 12-song set covered music from throughout her career, but as you might have expected, it was heaviest on cuts from her rich 2017 album Okovi.
The music of Zola Jesus exists somewhere between modern pop and her darker, more gothic influences. This made her something of an unusual choice for the festival, and she addresses that during the performance before the song “Witness”. She said,
“Thank you for being in this room right now, I wasn’t expecting you guys to be here. I feel like the odd duck, which I’m thankful for. I feel like the odd duck at all festivals. I’m too poppy or too weird… As someone that’s super into metal and industrial and noise, and whose friends always play this festival, I’m really flattered. This next song is kinda slow, but you guys like doom, so this is probably more your speed anyway.”
