Two things, two musical things, two exciting musical things from two sets of people we’ve mentions quite a few times on these fractured pages in recent times, Gazelle Twin has just this second let loose a new video for that excellent Hobby Hotse track we featured a few weeks back, and as expected, the video is as good as we knew it would be, here it is…

.

The new Gazelle Twin album pastoral is out on September 21st, out on Anti-Ghost Moon Ray on 21 September 2018, we’re expecting it to be one of the albums of the year. The video, directed by long-time collaborator Chris Turner, “firmly puts the album’s themes – exhuming England’s rotten past and showing its ever-darkening present – into focus”.

Elizabeth Bernholz aka Gazelle Twin, explains, ‘Hobby Horse’ is yet another fun-but-deranged experiment in an ever-growing catalogue of collaborations with director Chris Turner. We have a mutual appreciation for the uncanny – especially the kind tinged with a bit of ultra-violence. It’s great working with someone who knows how to capitalise on every kind of “weird” there is, yet still managing to keep performance at the core.’

Gazelle Twin has announced a series of live performances, following the album’s live debut at Supersonic festival, that includes Rough Trade East on Thursday 27 September.
