“I felt honored to participate in this extraordinary musical creation,” explains The Space Lady. “I love how [Glockabelle] used the two rhyming words “gazelle” and “rebel” — one depicting fleetness, and the other non-conformance. It goes without saying, the closer we are pushed toward tyranny the more we will need to embody both qualities. To paraphrase Dylan Thomas: We must not go gentle into that Dark Night!”

"Now a decade later, the French-speaking New Yorker revamps the track for its milestone anniversary, collaborating with outsider icon and fellow keyboard warrior The Space Lady on this wild update, which sounds like Koji Kondo’s soundtrack to the original Legend of Zelda dipped in an ayahuasca brew."

This is the 10th anniversary of my Gazelle track, originally released in 2015 on my debut EP, Wolf BBQ. To celebrate, I sought out the help of my Casio sister, The Space Lady, to join me on this new version.

The Space Lady has been a true inspiration to me. We connected about 9 years ago when I first heard her Greatest Hits and played them for my baby cockatiel. I sent her a note to tell her we were fans, and not long after, I opened for her in New York. It seemed like it was just a matter of time until we met… as if the Casio gods had planned it way in advance. So when I decided to re-record my Gazelle song, she was first on my list. I mailed her a green screen and a pair of lightup cowboy boots, identical to mine (we are the same shoe size) and asked her to be my special guest.
I am in awe of how dedicated she is to her art, her fans and touring. Thank you to The Space Lady for sharing your cosmic light with me 💫
This track features my two Casio VL-Tones, a Yamaha MR-10 drum machine as well as the Aelita aka “Queen of the Soviet Synthesizers” and the Formanta Polivoks. It was recorded at Figure 8 Studios by Eli Crew. Mixed and mastered by Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets.

Gazelle 2.0: Two Casiotone Heroines Defeat the Evil GazelleThis is the 10th anniversary of Glockabelle's French-English Gazelle track, originally
released in 2015 on her debut EP, Wolf BBQ. To celebrate, Glockabelle sought out the
help of her self-proclaimed Casio sister, The Space Lady, to join her on this epic
new version. The Gazelle is a declaration of utmost freedom and independence, an
anthem about answering to no one, a song of rebellion and relentless determination
and doing whatever it takes to protect that freedom. : "No I am not your gazelle,
and you, you are not my gazelle, but you stay stuck in my teeth like a caramel."
The Space Lady reinforces this message, almost as if she were Glockabelle's
fairy godmother, adding: "Your only chance at freedom is to rebel. Rebel! Rebel!
Rebel! Rebel!" The Space Lady and Glockabelle find themselves on the verge of
drowning in a river of caramel, headed straight for the chompers of the evil
two-headed Gazelle, yet with their magical keyboards, stop and shatter the Gazelle's
teeth before it's too late.
"I felt honored to participate in this extraordinary musical creation,” explains The Space Lady. “I love how [Glockabelle] used the two rhyming words “gazelle” and “rebel” — one depicting fleetness, and the other non-conformance. It goes without saying, the closer we are pushed toward tyranny the more we will need to embody both qualities. To paraphrase Dylan Thomas: We must not go gentle into that Dark Night!"
In this revamped version of the Gazelle, all instruments are performed and arranged by Glockabelle including her standard setup of two Casio VL-Tones, a Yamaha MR-10 drum machine as well as some epic vintage Soviet synthesizers: the Aelita (coined the "Queen of the Soviet Synthesizers") and the Formanta Polivoks. The track was recorded at Figure 8 Studios by Eli Crews and mixed and mastered by Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets.
The video was directed by Perhapsy (Derek Barber) using a combination of green screen footage and animation.
Merci beaucoup France Rocks and Lincoln Center for having me for your Summer for the City Festival!

NEW RELEASE! ⚡️☠️ It’s #bandcampfriday so i’ve decided it’s time to share my Surf Glock EP. I’ve been holding onto this one for a long time but today is the day to let her rip. This band was first known as Mano Fico (The Fig Hand), then Foxglove. I was obsessed at the time with surf rock and Dick Dale so I formed the first ever surf glock band. It was recorded by Jake Loewenstein of Sebadoh at the house of one of the Dirty Projectors. Foxglove included Adam Fisher on bass. Adam Fisher was a beloved sound engineer in Brooklyn who tragically passed away in 2013. Rest in peace, Adam. This release is for you. ✨

Portland was one of the last cities I played before la merde hit the fan in March 2020. Can’t wait to play for you, eat your lobster and lure a moose out of the woods with my casio. And what a killer lineup @threebrainedrobot @almond_milks @goiter69. Come masked and vaxxed. March 28, 2022 <3
New Bandcamp release today. "L'oiseau-mouche s'en va vers le soleil" (the hummingbird goes toward the sun). This piece was inspired by daily meditations in a cluster of 11 Norway spruce trees in the pocket of a very old cemetery. Enjoy and stay safe.
Looks like a Casio, Feels like a Piano
Glockabelle plays two Casio-VL Tones and a glockenspiel with eight thimbles. She would like to apologize to J.S. Bach in advance for transcribing two of his preludes to one-centimeter plastic calculator buttons. It seemed like a good idea at the time. She would also like to thank Middlebury College for allowing her to perform one prelude on their concert grand piano. She hopes this has redeemed her in Bach’s esteem with some semblance of elegance and class. www.glockabelle.com
