Zola Jesus has announced a run of UK and Ireland shows as part of a European tour this autumn.

The tour will call in Brighton, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Norwich, Liverpool and Dublin prior to a previously confirmed date at London's Islington Assembly Hall on November 7. Tickets are on sale now.

The singer-songwriter has also shared her new single, Soak, the second track to be lifted from her forthcoming album, 'Okovi', which is set to arrive on September 8 through Sacred Bones. The track was written through the lens of a serial killer’s victim. Speaking about the song, Zola Jesus said:

“I was thinking about this crucial moment inside the victim’s mind, when she knows she’s going to die. She thinks back at her life and the futility of the decisions she made, when in the end her life would be cut short against her will.

"What’s the point of trying to navigate life if you don’t even get to choose how it ends? Instead of letting her fate be determined by someone else, she takes back control and turns it around, so instead, in her mind, she is choosing to die. She lets the killer assist her in suicide, as she gets tossed into the water and slowly drowns. Through writing this song the story evolved within me, and I saw how it mirrored my own feelings inside."
