LP version. Red vinyl. "Here lies our ancient future, Deep England: our hope and compassion in the chokehold of power and glory. Hand in hand, here we cry our rage: summoning a lament into the ether, a divine androgynous force, a transcendental purge of the dizzying chaos of post-truth Britain." --Gazelle Twin & NYX.

Gazelle Twin & NYX, electronic drone choir, have announced details of their debut release, Deep England, an eight-track album via NYX Collective Records. Rooted in English pagan and sacred music, Deep England is an electronic-choral expansion of Gazelle Twin's 2018 album Pastoral (AGMR 035CD/AGMR 036LP). Here, tracks from Pastoral, an album whose political themes have only intensified since its original release, are radically reworked and presented alongside original compositions by NYX, Paul Giovanni, and William Blake. Gazelle Twin (aka Elizabeth Bernholz) and NYX, the electronic drone choir reshaping the role of the traditional female choir, originally created Deep England for live performance with movement director Imogen Knight, sound associate Peter Rice, and designer Chloe Lamford. The performance, described by The Times in their review as a "spellbinding febrile techno-pagan pageant," premiered at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in November 2019. Deep England was transferred to the studio soon after, and the resulting album shows a powerful and often dreamlike Jarman-esque depiction of a country divided by its many selves. The performers are Adélaïde Pratoussy, Cecilia Forssberg, Elizabeth Bernholz, Natalie Sharp, Ruth Corey, Shireen Qureshi, and Sian O'Gorman. The album was co-produced by Marta Salogni, Sian O'Gorman, and Elizabeth Bernholz with mix and additional programming by Marta Salogni, and mastering by Heba Kadry.
