In The Dark, Dark Room Was A Dark, Dark Dog


It's another one of those Fridays, so here's Gazelle Twin remixed - and guest-starring - Gary Numan in a new remix of Black Dog, the title track of her current, delicious dark album.

The original version was unsettling enough, but the sight and sound of Elizabeth Bernholz overlaid with Gary Numan may have you reaching for your comfort blanket.

The video reflects one of the inspirations for Shadow Dogs, as revealed by Bernholz in a recent press release:

"When making Black Dog, a persistent obsession I had was the link between 
audiovisual 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."

All great stuff and a precursor to the companion album Shadow Dogs, featuring this and other reworks by Keeley Forsyth, Penelope Trappes and Beak>. Released today (6th), it should hopefully be available on Gazelle Twin's Bandcamp page by the time you read this.
