David Lynch Remixes Zola Jesus’ “In Your Nature”
Sacred Bones normally likes to approach their label like a curated, and continuous art project. They have an in-house design team (David Correll and Caleb Braaten) and a short-film director((Jacqueline Castel). The design is informed by cinema. So imagine how stoked Sacred Bones is that David Lynch remixed the Zola Jesus song In Your Nature . The remix will be available on the “In Your Nature” single to be released on February 21 via Sacred Bones Records
Listen to David Lynch’s remix of In Your Nature below:
Mr. Lynch went through Zola Jesus’ album Conatus, and choose this cut to re-envision. Lynch only kept the vocals. He replaced the original version’s strings with guitar and drum parts, written and performed by himself and engineer Dean Hurley.
The original of “In Your Nature” had a dance-y pace. Lynch’s version is more driving, careening and cinematic . Zola Jesus’ Nika Roza Danilova normally avoids remixes. But there is an exception for anything.
Later on in the year, Sacred Bones is also set to reissue a deluxe vinyl version of Lynch’s Eraserhead soundtrack.
Zola Jesus have also updated their tour-dates. Which, unfortunately, has the Feb 20th Columbus date moved to the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati.
Saturday: Wussy @ Ace of Cups + mp3 premiere
Between the Ass Ponys and Wussy, Chuck Cleaver’s got 11 or so full-lengths and countless EPs and singles under his belt. One wouldn’t expect the heavily tattooed Cincinnati songwriter to produce his best collection of songs this late in his already highly-prolific career, but that’s exactly what he’s done with, in my opinion, the best release coming of out Ohio in 2011. To be fair, Cleaver’s not the sole songwriter in Wussy, it’s a collective effort with Lisa Walker (guitar, vocals), Mark Messerly (bass, keys) and Joe Klug (drums) contributing their fair share.
While I’ve been a fan of Cleaver’s since first hearing the quirky-twang of “Earth to Grandma” coming through the speakers at Used Kids in the mid-90s (and later seeing the Meat Puppet’s-ish “Little Bastard” on MTV! Oh, what a glorious day that was!), the new Wussy release, Strawberry (listen to – and buy – on Bandcamp), is something I’ve returned to over and over on the iPod in the last 2 or so weeks – the passion between Cleaver and Walker (as ex-lovers, as current songwriting partners) so natural, the voices playing off each other so beautifully.
Fortunately, with Wussy headquartered about 120 miles southwest on 71, we’re luckier than most and get somewhat regular shows in Columbus though Saturday night’s show at Ace of Cups is somewhat special, serving as a CD release party, of sorts. Wussy will be joined by Columbus counterparts Moviola and Birds of Hair (featuring Scrawl’s Marcy Mays).

Odd Future 2011 Fall Tour Dates
Odd Future is touring the North America this fall. The GolfWang tour is ALL-AGES and features no opening acts. There will be an opening set by OFWGKTA’s DJ Syd the Kyd. But other than that…no random dudes who know the promoter to drain away the energy.
Odd Future’s Tyler the Creator has been nominated for a 2 VMA’s. You can vote for Tyler here and here.
If you want to make yourself more excited about this tour then peep Pitchfork’s and OkayPlayer’s reviews of MellowHype’s Blackenedwhite.
Fan on-sale Wed (8/3) + general on-sale Fri (8/5)/ Sat (8/6) for show tickets.
It appears that if you live in Columbus, Ohio and you want to see duh WolfGang then you will have to head to Cincinnati or the D. If you go to the Show At Bogarts in the Nati then check out the mural my friends and I did a few year ago on the side of the venue.
