Gazelle Twin & NYX

Deep England

Gazelle Twin's collaboration with choral drone choir NYX is an album centered around drama. Largely a reworking of Gazelle Twin's eclectic electronic album Pastoral from 2018, Deep England is so far removed from the style of that original work that you'd be forgiven for completely missing that fact. Even if the approach to these songs is vastly different from the original, the songs still maintain and even heighten the anxiety and theatrics of Pastoral. If Gazelle Twin's character on Pastoral ... read more

Pastoral was terrifying enough and now they just made it more twisted and sicker.

FIRST LISTEN: I managed to get through all of it start to finish without pausing. Does that make me legible for some sort of choral cult near Shropshire??

I have transcended!

Es injusto imponer una calificación a Gazelle Twin & NYX, porque no son un producto como cualquier otro que se encuentre en esta plataforma. No es música para disfrutar, es muy intimista, de escucha individual, resulta algo más ritualista espiritual, me recuerda en ese aspecto al último trabajo de Wardruma, también de este año. La esparsión trascendental del alma, o de aquello que cada individuo crea, es el objetivo final de Deep England. ... read more

I listened to this once and I lost all my money, girlfriend left me, and I got fired so this album probably hexed me

Initiation to a medieval cult.

Spooookyness isn’t the only thing going for this record. You laugh, you cry, and you admire the great talent and work that had to be put in here.
I simultaneously had flashbacks to a little old swedish children’s program and wanted to dance to this music that absolutely encapsulated me. Definitely a lot more to unpack but I can’t stop listening

É um álbum bastante interessante, tem alguns elementos que me lembram quase música tribal com algo religioso envolvido. Os vocais em todo o álbum são bastante distintos e junto com o instrumental contribuem perfeitamente pra vibe meio mística e sinistra que o álbum me passa. Esse projeto me da a sensação de pertencer a um culto em uma floresta escura, mas ao mesmo tempo é uma experiência estranhamente confortante e ... read more

Dances in bloody black forests...

A darkly languid, terrifying listen. Somehow, this manages to be even more twisted than Pastoral, from which some tracks are reworked. Honestly this is the closest thing of 2020 or 2021 that I would consider perfect, but there's the slight quibble of Golden Dawn being too long and the pretentious choice to close the album on 6 minutes of silence. So, only...nearly perfect.

I absolutely LOVED listening to this album, it's jam-packed with exactly the kind of vibes I look for in music. Definitely gotta go listen to more Gazelle Twin after this

damn, it was a cruel experience, gazelle twin is fire

There's a lot of tension in this album. It’s like a gruesome horror flick that you feel the need to watch again and again to catch every dark detail. Fire Leap is outstanding. The second half of the album is kinda forgettable though.

cult moment

NYX deliver me to the marshland
