Genre-blending artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer GAZEL will be releasing her debut album, Gazel’s Book Of Souls, October 4th.
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.
“When writing Gazel’s Book of Souls I knew I wanted to create a mythological structure of the unconscious mind – like an imaginary psychic map,”says Gazel. “I wanted a theme for each song, each representing a different aspect of the human psychic tendency – grief, growth, technology, symbolism, problems of identity and belief in the mind’s fabrications. Gazel’s Book of Souls is music that explores dreams, consciousness and the great mystery of the human mind.”
Following its release, GAZEL will be taking her immersive and captivating live performance blending sonic, visual and spoken word elements on a four-date run of headline shows, with UK dates in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Brighton. Buy tickets and pre-order the album HERE.
