Zola Jesus - Stridulum EP [2010]

Zola Jesus (also known as Nika Roza Danilova) has released two previous albums which were mostly filled with static, noise and a persistent drone. The Stridulum EP is a major change, though - that dripping shroud of reverb is still there, along with the heavy, dragging beats and Danilova's strangely lovely (and stilted, Ian Curtis-esque) monotone vocals, but each track is an undeniable pop song... albeit completely fucking weird, depressing pop songs.

Now get the EP so you you can impress everyone when you tell them you listen to "lo-fi goth post-pop."
