Today, our new music spotlight is on GAZEL
Location: LONDON
Line-up: GAZEL ALGAN
About: GAZEL is an essential new UK talent for 2019. A genre-blending artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Gazel is readying the release of her debut album ‘Gazel’s Book of Souls’. The album follows the myth-like story of a young girl who seeks to find the cause of a mysterious fire which destroyed her village, and in the process encounters a variety of ‘souls’ who dwell in her town’s collective unconscious, each of which is represented by a different track on the album. Influenced by Jungian archetypes, mystical philosophy and the folk music of her Middle-Eastern roots, the album is an eclectic and captivating blend of subtle electronica, folk and pop.
What Hidden Herd say: It’s often harder to find artists that pursue pure originality, yet when you do it’s oh-so rewarding. Mixing equatorial flavours into her music, GAZEL delivers a dose of upbeat, sun-kissed alt-pop that’s notably refreshing and the perfect track to see out the last of the summer.
