Zola Jesus pays homage to Japanese Horror classic ‘The Ring’ in the video for ‘Exhumed’

Zola Jesus has returned to form, digging up her darker sound going for her forthcoming new album, Okovi, which comes out September 8th on Sacred Bones. Ahead of the released, she’s shared the creepy footage from the video for her lead single Exhumed, directed by Jacqueline Castel.

Despite the obvious visual references to the Japanese Horror classic, Castel  has elaborated on the general theme of death in the video in a press statement:

“Exhumed was personally conceived of and created whilst processing death – of family members and of relationships – and much like Okovi’s core themes, it is a reflection on loss, heritage, and the often painful personal growth we must harness in the face of life’s constant evolution. Shot intimately in one day, in the exhausting heat within the woods surrounding Nika’s Wisconsin home, we sought to capture personal apocalypse, utilizing experimental shooting techniques to further our emotional goals. Practically and metaphorically, we fought to find the light in the darkest of forests.”

Additionally, on September 8th Stridulum, a new release collecting Zola Jesus’ pair of 2010 EPs, Stridulum and Valusia will be released.

Plus, Check out Black Asteroid track Howl, featuring Zola Jesus, remixed by Time Traveler
