LATEST TRACK TO BE SHARED FROM SHADOW DOGS, NEW REWORKINGS AND REINTERPRETATIONS OF TRACKS FROM THE ACCLAIMED ALBUM, BLACK DOG – OUT 6 DECEMBER 2024

FEATURING GARY NUMAN & ADE FENTON, KEELEY FORSYTH, BEAK>, MARTA SALOGNI, PENELOPE TRAPPES, MARK JENKIN & SEALIONWOMAN

KINGS PLACE RESIDENCY ANNOUNCED FOR 2025

Gazelle Twin has shared the Gary Numan & Ade Fenton Mix of ‘Black Dog’, the latest taste of what to expect from Shadow Dogs - a brand new album of reworkings and reinterpretations of tracks from her acclaimed album, Black Dog - out on Friday 6 December on Invada Records.

Gazelle Twin previously worked with the pioneering electronic artist and his long-term producer and collaborator Ade Fenton on Numan’s Intruder album back in 2021, however, this dark, sinister reworking of ‘Black Dog’ sees Gazelle Twin and Numan sharing lead vocals for the first time. Fenton, who produced the track, enthuses, “It’s a huge honour to be able to work with these two geniuses and I enjoyed producing this track enormously.” 

The accompanying video featuring Gary Numan and Gazelle Twin was directed John Minton (who created the video for the original track). The video, described by Minton as a “claustrophobic dream box” reflects their entwined voices with mesmerising video feedback processing.

Gary Numan said of the collaboration, “I’ve long thought of Elizabeth (Gazelle Twin) as one of the most inventive artists out there. Highly creative and experimental, she’s not afraid to follow her own uniquely individual path. It’s a genuine honour for me to be asked to contribute to ‘Black Dog’.”

Gazelle Twin went on to say, “Gary’s visionary work has inspired me since I first tinkered on a synthesiser as a kid; his original vocal style, melodic punch and off-world futuristic weirdness still appeals massively to this day. To have Gary and Ade's version of ‘Black Dog’ as part of the Shadow Dogs album is always going to be mind-blowing to me.” 

Gazelle Twin’s forthcoming album of “ghost” or “shadow” versions of tracks from her fourth studio album features reinterpretations by Keeley Forsyth, Marta Salogni, Penelope Trappes, Mark Jenkin, Sealionwoman and BEAK>, who launched the series with their blistering take on 'Fear Keeps Us Alive'.

Talking about Shadow Dogs, Bernholz says, “When making Black Dog, a persistent obsession I had was the link between audio-visual tech and the nature of ghosts. I thought about Edison’s Ghost Machine, early EVP experiments, and the “ghosting” of transmitted images on the first televisions. All recordings are ghosts of sorts, and so came the idea of inviting musicians that I really admire, to create ghost or shadow versions of these songs, and together form a new pack - Shadow Dogs.”

Gazelle Twin’s Black Dog – a powerful and unforgettable album dealing with confrontation, childhood fears, and how they manifest in adulthood – was described by Uncut as “her most lustrous, luxuriant and darkly beautiful to date”. Gazelle Twin’s commanding live performance of the album has already been witnessed at Rewire, Donau, Simple Things and Supersonic festival, and the British Library, London and she has recently been announced as Artist in Residence at Kings Place, London. The residency will launch on 18 January with a new interpretation of her immersive installation, an incantation of grief and defiance in lament for women lost to violence, We Wax. We Shall Not Wane, featuring Maxine Peake.

EDITORS NOTES

Composer, producer, and performance artist Elizabeth Bernholz (AKA Gazelle Twin) created this “transformative” performance persona in 2009 to encompass; composition, studio albums, soundtracks, art installations and live performance, intended to openly address a deep-rooted aversion to traditional and contemporary norms across the music industry, particularly for women. Her ever-changing, identity-warping personas based on powerful, emotional themes and a fiercely independent spirit has driven her output and many collaborations since.

Bernholz has independently released three critically acclaimed studio albums to date; The Entire City (2011), Unflesh (2014), and Pastoral (2018), together with three soundtrack LPs from album off-shoot performance projects; Out of Body (2015), Kingdom Come (2017), and Deep England with NYX Electronic Drone Choir (2021). As a newly established soundtrack composer, her credits for Film, TV, and Video games include: AMC’s The Walking Dead, The Virtues (C4), Cyberpunk 2077, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Netflix), Nocturne (Amazon/Blumhouse), The Power (BFI/Shudder) and Then You Run (Kudos/Sky). Her collaborations as vocalist and producer include Gary Numan, Halsey (through Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross), Maxine Peake, Perc, Blanck Mass, DJ Dave Clarke and more. Her latest album, Black Dog (2023) one of Electronic Sound, The Quietus and Music OMH’s Albums of the Year, is out now on Invada Records.

PRAISE FOR GAZELLE TWIN’S BLACK DOG

“The music is her most lustrous, luxuriant and darkly beautiful to date… A mighty musical exorcism” - Uncut 9/10*

“Elizabeth Bernholz needles her way into your bones with this dripping minimalist encroach…” - The Guardian

“… as if the archives had turned up an unreleased Amicus Productions slasher with Diamanda Galás providing soundtrack vocals” - The Wire

“Gazelle Twin masterfully keeps us in suspense” - MOJO 4/5*

“…steeped in anxious beauty” - Fortean Times

“Deeply unsettling and confrontational… a more confessional side of this innovative artist” - Electronic Sound

“Black Dog is an album of dualities, with the narrator constantly in two places and numerous instances of parallel lyrics as Bernholz reckons with the past, present and future at once” - The Quietus
