The song is lifted from her forthcoming album, 'Okovi', which is set to arrive on September 8 via Sacred Bones Records. On the same day the label will also release the 'Stridulum' LP, which combines her 2010 EPs 'Stridulum' and 'Valusia'.
Speaking about the track, Zola Jesus, said:
"Initially, I was apprehensive about releasing Siphon into the world. This song was not intended for public consumption. It was written for someone very close to me who had attempted suicide for the second time. In the weeks surrounding this tragedy, I desperately tried everything I could to convince them to stay alive. There is no greater horror than watching someone you love physically destroy themselves… not knowing if you would see them tomorrow . In the end, I decided this song needed to be heard, not only by this person, but by others as well."
Zola Jesus will head to the UK and Ireland as part of a European tour this autumn. Tickets are on sale now.
