The Spoils

by Zola Jesus

The Spoils cover art

The debut full-length from Nika Roza Danilova is a lo-fi, deeply abrasive introduction to her operatic darkwave aesthetic. Recorded largely in her Wisconsin apartment, the tracks drown her powerful, classically trained vocals in layers of industrial distortion and primitive drum machines. It laid the gritty, gothic foundation for her eventual ascension in the dark-pop landscape.
