Based on a track originally from 2017’s Okovi, this remixed version arose from a mutual, longstanding appreciation. "As a longtime fan of Johnny Jewel’s work,” Zola Jesus explains “it was surreal to hear him re-work ‘Ash To Bone.’ Hearing his arrangement was like experiencing a collision of musical worlds. It was as if this is how the song was always supposed to sound.

"Ash to Bone (Johnny Jewel Remix)” appears on the album Okovi: Additions, due out April 6 via Sacred Bones Records, which couples four previously unreleased tracks from the Okovi sessions with four remixes by a diverse cast of artists spanning a spectrum of genres, including the aforementioned Johnny Jewel, along with Katie Gately, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Joanne Pollock (formerly one half of Poemss with Venetian Snares' Aaron Funk).
