Gazelle Twin is the moniker of Elizabeth Bernholz, a British composer and producer whose work sits at the intersection of industrial, avant-garde electronic, and art pop. Since her 2011 debut, The Entire City, she has evolved from ethereal, cinematic soundscapes into a much more aggressive and conceptual aesthetic.
Her work is characterized by a 'total art' approach, where costume, persona, and visual media are inseparable from the music. Career highlights include the critically acclaimed Unflesh (2014), which dealt with themes of phobia and the physical body, and Pastoral (2018), which utilized the 'Jester' persona to critique post-Brexit British culture. Her 2023 release, Black Dog, shifted toward a more intimate, though no less haunting, exploration of childhood memory and domestic ghosts. Bernholz is a key figure in the UK's experimental electronic scene, often associated with the Anti-Ghost Moon Ray collective. Her influence can be seen in the rising wave of 'dark' art pop that prioritizes conceptual depth and sonic discomfort over traditional pop structures.
