"The bodies that host her carry fetishes for paralinguistics, breaking the fourth wall and nurturing a mutant faith in love in the face of fear."

but seriously, as a fan of both:
I totally get Zola Jesus concerns, but I also think it's a shame they are such at odds, because they could make such awesome collabs. maybe someday.
I will disagree with myself on another day about another artist, but I think we sometimes have to let artists just kinda speak off the cuff, muse on things that are half-understood. After all, I think the better art is more about expression than Being Right.
Not that she should be free of criticism.
I dunno. It's just not what grimes does, not what I expect from her. I don't want a convincing essay from grimes. I want her to abstract concepts beyond recognition and filter them through her myriad influences. I want out there sci-fi.
