Uncompromising electronica subverts a passion for the pastoral
‘Deranged jockey’: Gazelle Twin

BRIGHTON-BORN Elizabeth Bernholz, aka Gazelle Twin, is an electronic musician-cum-performance artist inspired by the power of disguise.

On her latest and arguably greatest record, Pastoral, she rides a hobby horse and, sporting a white cap and playing a recorder, is kitted out like a deranged jockey in red, with a balaclava covering her face, long socks and Adidas trainers — Gazelles of course.
