“I Can’t Stand” is a beautifully dark slice of gothic pop from Zola Jesus, aka Phoenix-based singer & songwriter Nika Roza Danilova. Reverb aplenty gives this song the sound of a great lost 1980’s number one single. After playing with Fever Ray, she’s just been announced as The XX’s USA tour support… but hopefully she’ll be back for some UK headline dates soon.
