Rachel Goswell (born 16 May 1971) is an English singer-songwriter and musician who rose to prominence as vocalist and guitarist of the shoegaze band Slowdive. Goswell, along with Neil Halstead, Ian McCutcheon and former Chapterhouse member Simon Rowe became Mojave 3 when Slowdive transitioned to a more country/folk rock style. She released a solo album in 2004, titled ''Waves Are Universal'' on 4AD Records. ==History== Goswell was born in Fareham, England. She began playing guitar at age seven, and was trained on classical guitar at age fourteen, along with childhood friend Neil Halstead, with whom she formed Slowdive in 1989. Regarding her musical influences, she stated :"For me personally, from a singing point of view, I was inspired by Siouxsie Sioux".〔Trunick, Austin ("Slowdive Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell on the bands that inspired them" ). Undertheradar". June/July 2014. Retrieved 15 June 2015〕 After Slowdive's dissolution in 1995, Goswell and Halstead formed Mojave 3, an offshoot of Slowdive; the group captured a more folk rock-oriented sound as opposed to Slowdive's shoegaze sound. They released five albums, their last being ''Puzzles Like You'' in 2006, before going on a hiatus. In 2014, Slowdive, with Goswell, reformed for gigs and have declared in interviews that they would be working on new material. The year 2004 saw Goswell release solo recordings with co-writer Joe Light and producer David Naughton. Nine months after Mojave 3 released ''Spoon and Rafter'', she released ''The Sleep Shelter'' EP. ''Waves Are Universal'', her first full-length recording, appeared a month later. Tiny Mix Tapes described the record as "delicate and well-thought out" despite occasionally veering towards "the frankly repulsive world of adult contemporary" while Pitchfork Media thought the album was "warm () summery ... agreeable, if not very exciting". Stylus Magazine stated that ''Waves Are Universal'' is "a solid album that could appeal to both fans of () previous work and others". In February 2005, a limited edition remix 12" (also available as a download) entitled "Coastline"/"Plucked" was issued and features two mixes apiece from The Earlies and Ulrich Schnauss. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rachel Goswell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
