Gazella

Like a matt, shimmering mosaic of influences, Gazella carefully blend timbre after timbre to create a completely unique style with a distinct pull. The musical foundation consists of longing dream pop that adorns itself with spatial reverbs but that never threatens to drown in them. Colourful sprinkles of indietronica and neo-psychedelia initially join in the party, as do the elfin vocals of singer Raquel Palomino, whose intonation covers an impressive spectrum. The songs are sealed with hypnotic shoegazing and a reflective look inwards that gave their debut, ‘Gazella’ (2023), that special depth known from bands of the 90s. But the quintet from Valencia, Spain, were able to do more than merely establish an unmistakable signature sound right from the start. Indeed, the journey to the stage has also been achieved with flying colours, as impressively demonstrated by shows at the Deleste Festival, the Atlantic Fest, and Monkey Week. Their second album, ‘Vías’ (2025), will be released by the tastemakers at Foehn Records, who have repeatedly demonstrated a knack for idiosyncratic projects over the last twenty years. There’s no doubt that Gazella will soon achieve cult status. And there’s even less doubt that their first appearance with us will result in a memorable evening. Truly not to be missed.
