Doubtless something that everyone’s seen a bajillion times over, but while Wil’s rocking up Saturday night over at the Pitchfork shindig, I’m simultaneously mesmerised and weirded out by Gazelle Twin’s Entire City interactive album.
Strange and beautiful, The Entire City has been picking up some love with a 5-star review in the Graun as well as positive reviews elsewhere. The project of Brighton-based performance artist Elizabeth Walling, the record came out earlier in July following singles ‘Changeling’ and ‘I am Shell I am Bone‘ – the latter of which opens with the sort of throb that characterises the work of Boards of Canada, and that’s very much the territory that The Entire City is working in. Not that this is some sort of BoC-alike; rather consider that Gazelle Twin are operating within the same, brooding, ethereal sphere. It’s disturbing and it’s lovely, all at the same time.
