Unflesh

About

Unflesh is the second studio album by Gazelle Twin, the project of British composer, producer and musician Elizabeth Bernholz. The album was released in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2014 to critical acclaim. Bernholz discussed developing the tracks: "Beats are the most instinctive thing to begin with as I get sense of something moving forward. I always find that a beat and a baseline work best to form the skeleton of a track, but sometimes it's good to shake things up and do it differently. I really like to loop found or homemade samples and hear melodie, or beats or harmonic overtones in those, and start building from there. Other times I'll start with a vocal line and build outward." Bernholz made Unflesh using the digital audio workstation Ableton. She wrote, recorded and produced all the material at home, and then went to MemeTune, an analogue studio in London, where she worked with Benge for additional production and mixing. All the tracks were mixed using a 1974 MCI console, Bernholz reasoning that "Anything sounds better through an analogue desk like that." .
