Zola Jesus

"Nail" (video)

Despite the cathartic boom of the song itself, the video for Zola Jesus' Taiga track "Nail" is plenty claustrophobic. If the idea of being trapped beneath a blackened blanket of latex doesn't completely turn you off, you can see the enveloping visuals down below.

Zola Jesus is caught between two worlds in the video: one above the layer of shiny material, and one below. The sentiment of the song remains the same no matter what, with the artist detailing a less than ideal personal situation, and demanding, quite tunefully, "set me free."

Strobing lights add more unease to the piece, whose soundtrack builds up to a powerful crescendo of beats, vocals and brass. You can see the results down below.
