Gazelle Twin is the solo effort of UK singer-songwriter Elizabeth Walling, and her debut full-length, the Entire City, has recently been released via Anti-Ghost Moon Ray . Some moments on Entire are a close shave when it comes to sounding a bit too much like the Knife or Fever Ray, but a good handful of these tracks cover territory too eerie to ignore. On "Changelings," Gazelle Twin performs at the volume of a whisper over a bleak beat and atmospheric synths. She sounds almost afraid as she's singing the [...]

The set times for the Out of the Box Festival were announced today, which probably means we should preview the festival. I'll be the first to admit that I don't really know a whole lot about this festival as it seems to happen whenever I'm out of town. Weekend Passes Available at Rotate This and Soundscapes Here's the set times. I'm not going to bother reformatting it into something more HTML friendly because I am currently on a mac typing this and it's like driving an automatic after years of driving stick. It's weird.

http://gazelletwin.com/ / Facebook I decided I wasn't going to review Gazelle Twin's debut 'The Entire City', it has already received some fine reviews from reviewers ( The Guardian 5/5, dis 8/10, FT 8/10 and even NME 8/10) far more capable and articulate than myself, instead I'll just do a piece highlighting why you should buy it. I'm crap at reviews anyway. I first fell for the mysterious charm of Elizabeth Walling after hearing her debut single "Changelings" and a cover of Prince's "I [...]

Doubtless something that everyone's seen a bajillion times over, but while Wil's rocking up Saturday night over at the Pitchfork shindig, I'm simultaneously mesmerised and weirded out by Gazelle Twin's Entire City interactive album. Strange and beautiful, The Entire City has been picking up some love with a 5-star review in the Graun as well [...]

Gazelle Twin From: Brighton, United Kingdom Brighton belle and multi media artiste Elizabeth Walking, aka Gazelle Twin , has been described as a dream weaver. However on her impressive debut album The Entire City , named after a Max Ernst painting, she deals more in the darker side of the brain's sleeping state. If you like your music serious, dark and intense then Liz is your girl. She channels the ghostly spirits of the trip hop pioneers into a bewitching, beguiling brew that shivers the soul [...]
Brighton belle and multi media artiste Elizabeth Walking, aka Gazelle Twin , has been described as a dream weaver. However on her impressive debut album The Entire City , named after a Max Ernst painting, she deals more in the darker side of the brain's sleeping state. If you like your music serious, dark and intense then Liz is your girl. She channels the ghostly spirits of the trip hop pioneers into a bewitching, beguiling brew that shivers the soul and frightens the children. It's melancholic music that aches, it's music for the economic meltdown. If you're looking [...]

Words by Jim Christ almighty it's been hot already, hasn't it? This is not early June weather. This is late August, holy-shit-I'm-never-going-to-s top-sweating weather. What can you do though? Grin and bare it. A wise man that I've worked with in the past told me that you just have to remove it from your mind. Push it aside. Take your thoughts to a cooler place and pretty soon you won't even notice it. Focus on something else. Sitting here in a balmy apartment, I've found that something and it's name is Entire Cities [...]
Here is part 4 of who to see at NXNE . This time on Saturday June 18, 2011. There is a lot of things to see during the daytime and nighttime. Usually on the Saturday I would go down to the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern for CBC Radio 32s show. But this year I might have to break my tradition. I am setting my eyes on staying at this venue which is the Great Hall. Playing there are: 9pm - Duzheknew [...]

Toronto roots-rockers, Entire Cities , produce an unusual and endearing brand of folk-rock that is honest and incisive and beautifully exemplifies the joy, yearning, and disillusionment of human existence. The songs on their latest album I Hope You Never Come Home emerge large and full, welcoming a first-time listener with a strange familiarity and automatic tenderness. Frontman Simon Borer writes undeniable, detailed accounts of day-to-day misadventures and has a comfortable, lackadaisical style that jibes with the music. Check Out: Gimme A Ride Check [...]

When's the last time I posted a good roots rock song? Let me answer that for you: a long damn time. Entire Cities sound like the perfect music festival band. I can imagine being wine drunk at 6 on a sunny summer day rocking out to these guys' catchy guitar hooks and rootsy jams. Entire Cities - Gimme A Ride

Bandcamp is fast becoming the vehicle of choice for artists getting their music out into the wider world, with the ability to sample, download free tracks and link in more tangible product including CD's, Vinyl and T-shirts the whole set up is for the music consumer a straight forward and easy way to get at the new music. I was contacted earlier this year by a Toronto seven-piece band collective Entire Cities with a copy of their album I Hope You Never come Home which is a shape-shifting collection of indie roots numbers, ramshackle [...]
Another week means there's more music than I can properly get to. So this week here are my quick impressions of: Entire Cities, I Hope You Never Come Home This album was released by the Toronto-based band late in 2010, but it didn't cross my desktop until now. It's an interesting country record, and almost a throwback to the '70s. It's definitely not like what you expect from alternative

To be absolutely honest, I dont usually post alt-country stuff because I hate that genre. Yet, there is something about this Canadian band Entire Cities that make me open up to them. I'm hearing a lot of different kinds of instruments here and the jangly, jolty way this folk is played out is also worthy mentioning - its refreshing and mathematical to an extent, the stop start, off timing and quick chord changes. I want to grab a beer and hang out with these guys in the bar. That is, if they'd like to [...]
![[ALBUM REVIEW] Entire Cities- I Hope You Never Come Home](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3190034_lg.jpg)
by teepoo Entire Cities is a 7 piece group from Toronto, Ontario. They have a folk rock sound that at certain moments sounds very indie alternative and country. Their debut album I Hope You Never Come Home is very rurally inspired and have tons of Canadian tidbits. Tracklist 1. Bruise Black 2. Gimme A Ride 3. A Coat of Loup Garou 4. Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear 5. Don A [...]

During their soundcheck. It was busy February 4th in Ottawa. With the two shows that I attended (Rich Aucoin and Little Scream). There was one show at the Live Lounge I didn't get to attend. It was Toronto's Wildlife and Entire Cities . I did manage to do a interview with the members of Wildlife (minus the drummer). Just say the interview took place inside their tour van. Have a listen to the interview . After my interview [...]

Toronto's experimental country rock indie band, Entire Cities released their EP entitled "I Hope You Never Come Home". They easily mix that good 'ol country thing with something much bigger and dynamic. Here's a free song for yous:

let me just start by saying that i love this album. it's been a while since i've found (or in this case, been sent) some great alt-countryish music...which is quite unfortunate, because that's one of my favorite kinds. after a very initial listen, i told simon borer (guitar & vocals) that it made me think of deer tick with more toys...the 'more toys' referring to more more people with more instruments. to be exact, entire cities is made up of simon, andrew bartle, ruhee dewji, tamara lindeman, david missio, paul sorensen and jimmy lee, all contributing a plethora [...]

Her Empty Sockets- Brainstorm (Arctic Monkeys Cover) Armen at the Bazaar- Over the Rainbow (Wizard of Oz Cover) Entire Cities- Feel It All (Feist Cover) more after the jump Vanaprasta- All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem Cover) Two Door Cinema Club- Cecilia (Simon and Garfunkel Cover) William [...]

"At its core, Entire Cities is Borer (guitar, vocals), Ruhee Dewji (flute, sax, vocals), Jimmy Rose (guitar, lap steel), Paul Sorenson (bass) and Andrew Bartle (drums), but a steady stream of collaborators in the form of artists, musicians and film makers have consistently spurred the band's ever-evolving approach". Advantage in numbers, those Canadians and their wickedly carefree musical mentality. Entire Cities are one of those bands that appear a little craggy and ramshackle but emit cross genre simulation in bounds. Wonderfully non-script and poetic, there are songs for [...]
