"Skin come off. I’ve had enough."

Zola Jesus: "In the beginning I was ready to go into the studio and make a giant upbeat pop record, but really quickly I realised that's not what was in me. The only thing coming out was this kind of raw introspection, something I had no control over, but it was apparent I needed to work through it. I let the album take its own shape based on this, not forcing myself to create something that I wasn't ready to make. Writing "Skin" was the beginning of this catharsis, of realising what I needed to do in order to liberate myself from myself."
