Shadow Dogs (RSD 25)

RECORD STORE DAY Limited Edition of 500 Copies – Transparent milky clear vinyl with black marble effect.

Album of reworkings and reinterpretations of tracks from the acclaimed Black Dog album. This album of “ghost” or “shadow” versions features reworkings from Gary Numan, BEAK>, Keeley Forsyth, Mark Jenkin, Marta Salogni, Penelope Trappes, and Sealionwoman.

Talking about Shadow Dogs, Gazelle Twin says, “When making Black Dog, a persistent obsession I had was the link between audio-visual 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.”

Gazelle Twin’s Black Dog – a powerful and unforgettable album dealing with confrontation, childhood fears, and how they manifest in adulthood – was described by Uncut as “her most lustrous, luxuriant and darkly beautiful to date”. Gazelle Twin’s commanding live performance of the album has already been witnessed at Rewire, Donau, Simple Things, and Supersonic festival, and a unique show at the British Library.
