Genre-blending artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Gazel has shared the remixes of her latest single, 'Rain Is Coming' - the latest track to be taken from her upcoming debut album Gazel's Book Of Souls, out October 4th - as well as announcing a run of headline shows to celebrate the album's release.
Pangaea and Mixhell have both contributed their own reworks, highlighting the track's unique instrumentation and melodicism set against minimalist, pulsating rhythms, while 'Rain Is Here', Gazel's own remix, is evocative of the likes of Four Tet or Bonobo. Subverting swelling and emotive synths and flowing melodies in favour of warped loops and driving beats, the remixes are infectious and mesmeric rebirths of the original. 'Rain Is Coming' is the fourth single to be taken from her enthralling debut album, Gazel's Book Of Souls, following the captivating 'Mina's Hymn', 'Pointing At The Moon' and the ethereal 'You're Not Funny', and will be released on October 4th."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."1. Rain Is Coming (Pangaea Remix Edit)
