Zola Jesus, real name Nika Danilova, has announced her sixth studio album.
The follow-up to 2017's 'Okovi' is called 'Arkhon' and will arrive on May 20 via Sacred Bones. Accompanying the news is the record's first single, Lost, a haunting offering that delivers ghostly samples of a Slovenian folk choir, with sharp, intertwining percussion. Danilova commented:
"It’s true. Everyone I know is lost. Lost hope, lost future, lost present, lost planet. There is a collective disillusionment of our burning potential. As we stray further from nature, we drift from ourselves. Lost is a sigil to re-discover our coordinates and claim a new path."
Of the track's accompanying Mu Tunç-directed video, she added:
"I wanted to shoot the video in a place that carried a lot of energy, with someone that I felt understood the spiritual backbone of the song. It was a surprisingly natural process to make this video with Mu Tunc in Turkey. I put my faith in him and in Cappadocia, a labyrinthine city built within 60 million-year-old caves. Throughout human history these caves have served as a citadel for so many different groups of people who went there to get lost. It is a testament to the resilience of humanity, and the durability of our earth."

1. Lost
2. The Fall
3. Undertow
4. Into The Wild
5. Dead and Gone
