• On the radar Jared James Nichols
  Read more about On the radar: Jared James Nichols at MusicRadar.com All good bluesmen have a killer back story. 22-year-old Jared James Nichols grew up in the shadow of Wisconsin’s Alpine Valley amphitheatre – the site of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s final show and tragic helicopter crash – and seems to have channelled the area’s aura.“I used to sneak up there with my guitar,” he tells MusicRadar. “I remember when I was about 15 years old, I rode my bike up there and stood right on the big X in THE MID le of the stage for three hours and just riffed out.”His tribute seems to have pleased the blues gods, as Nichols has since developed into one hell of a promising torch-bearer – blending his beloved SRV, Paul Kossoff, and Alberts Collins and King, into an electrifying brand of his own.“My mum used to take me out to blues jams and say, ‘My son plays guitar, can he play with the band tonight?’ he recalls. “They’d all look at her funny, and I’d be scared to death, then sure enough they’d call me up and I’d play with them. One thing led to another and we started doing that three or four nights a week.”The chance to get onstage and jam from such an early age helped Nichols find his burgeoning inner bluesman – and get a hold on the essential ‘feel’ that can prove so elusive to younger players. “I just dropped what I thought I was supposed to play and started doing what felt good,” he says.‘What felt good’ was losing his guitar pick, and now – aside from his Les Paul Junior and Blackstar Series One – it’s that which has the biggest impact on his tone.“When I play with my fingers, I can coax all of the different tones I want with just the volume and the tone knobs,” he explains. “If something goes wrong, it’s the guitar, the amp or me!”It’s a stripped-back approach to the instrument that’s in-tune with the blues ethos, so if you’re struggling with your playing, start listening to yourself...“The biggest thing that hinders most players is not finding their own voice,” summarises Nichols.

• Zola Jesus Announces Okovi Album Shares Exhumed
  As originally seen on Exclaim.ca.Nika Roza Danilova released her last album as Zola Jesus with the arrival of Taiga back in 2014, but she's finally ready to unveil the follow-up. Okovi is due out on September 8 via Sacred Bones.   The new LP boasts 11 electronics-driven tracks that capture a "heavy, dark and exploratory" musical mood. It features additional instrumentation from Danilova's live bandmate Alex DeGroot, producer/musician WIFE, cellist/noise-maker Shannon Kennedy (of Pedestrian Deposit) and percussionist Ted Byrnes.   In a statement about the upcoming record, Danilova explained that she moved back to the Wisconsin woods where she grew up, building a small house near her childhood home. The new material was inspired by the change of location, as well as a series of traumatic experiences.   "While writing Okovi, I endured people very close to me trying to die, and others trying desperately not to," she said. "Meanwhile, I was fighting through a haze so thick I wasn't sure I'd find my way to the other side. Death, in all of its masks, has been encircling everyone I love, and with it the questions of legacy, worth, and will."   Danilova went on to explain that the album title comes from a Slavic word for shackles. "We're all shackled to something — to life, to death, to bodies, to minds, to illness, to people, to birthright, to duty," she continued. "Each of us born with a unique debt, and we have until we die to pay it back. Without this cost, what gives us the right to live? And moreover, what gives us the right to die? Are we really even free to choose?"   The music that resulted from exploring those tough questions provides a "deeply personal snapshot of loss, reconciliation, and a sympathy for the chains that keep us all grounded to the unforgiving laws of nature."   You can hear the first sampling from the new record by scrolling past the complete tracklist and streaming "Exhumed" down below.
