Creating antibodies against life.
(Gazelle Twin is the stage name of Elizabeth Bernholz,a British
composer, producer and musician from Brighton, England. Walling
conceived the project when she watched Fever Ray perform at the 2009
Loop Festival. She noted how "her show reminded me how powerful and
liberating costume is, and I became interested in the power of
disguise".
Her debut album, The Entire City, was released in July 2011 to critical
acclaim. The album includes her two previously recorded singles,
"Changelings" (2010) and "I Am Shell I Am Bone" (2011). In 2014 Gazelle
Twin released her second album, Unflesh, to further critical praise. In
an interview with Guy Mankowski for PopMatters, Bernholz mentioned that
in the live shows for Unflesh she would be performing in a version of
her PE kit from school, saying she wanted to 'go back to my teenage
years to literally live out the idea of being a freak, like I thought I
was (and was often made to feel) at the time.' She has also remixed
music by John Foxx. She married the local musician Jez Bernholz who also
performs with her on-stage).
