If you’ve listened to either of the records that Nika Roza Danilova put out last year, then you know how exciting this news is. If you’ve seen her latest video for ‘Night’, then doubly so. With an updated version of the Stridulum EP due out later in the year, she’s back to tour British shores again, taking in 8 dates before hoping over to mainland Europe to do two dates there. If you live in any of the cities where these shows are happening – go. If you can reach any of the cities where she is playing – go. If you can’t make it, then we’ll think of you whilst she’s blasting out ‘Manifest Destinity’.

If you’ve not listened to Zola Jesus yet, you’ve been missing out. One of the most effective voices on the planet, she’s also worked with Xiu Xiu and Freddy Ruppert on Former Ghosts debut record. If you failed to be moved by this, there is something desperately, desperately wrong. The video for new single ‘Night’ is below, as well as two downloads from her album ‘Spoils’:
