Rachel Goswell Biography

Rachel Goswell is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on May 16, 1971 in Fareham, England, United Kingdom. Rachel Ann Goswell, born 16 May 1971, is an English singer-songwriter. She rose to fame as the guitarist and vocalist of Slowdive’s shoegaze band in 1989. Goswell was joined by Neil Halstead and Ian McCutcheon, as well as former Chapterhouse member Simon Rowe, to form Mojave 3, when Slowdive switched to a country/folk- rock style. Waves Are Universal was her solo album, which she released on 4AD Records in 2004.

From 1994 to 2000, Goswell was married with Christopher Andrews of Air Cuba.

Goswell is partially deaf herself as a result of labyrinthitis (a viral infection) which occurred in 2006. This left her with chronic tinnitus in one ear and she also had debilitating balance problems which required physiotherapy for a year. As a result, Goswell had to stop playing and touring with Mojave 3.

In 2010 Goswell gave birth to a son, Jesse, who has CHARGE syndrome; Jesse is profoundly deaf and has a serious heart condition which resulted in open heart surgery at the age of five months. She is learning British Sign Language and is vocal about the rights of parents of deaf children to have free access to learning sign language. In October 2013 there was a debate in Parliament led by the NDCS (National Deaf Children’s Society) where both Rachel and Jesse were mentioned.

Rachel Goswell’s 1993 Slowdive guitar rig included a Fender ’72 Telecaster Thinline, a Boss OD-2 turbo Overdrive, a Yamaha FX-500 multi-FX unit, a Yamaha FX-500 Multi-FX unit, and a Roland JC-77 combo amp for Jazz Chorus 2×10. Rachel Goswell has been using a Custom77 The Roxy-Hillbody as her main guitar while on tour since the Slowdive reunion in 2014.

After playing in several cover bands in Reading, Goswell founded the indie rock band The Pumpkin Fairies in 1988 with Neil Halstead and Adrien Sell. Slowdive was formed in 1989 by the foursome after The Pumpkin Fairies disbanded in 1989. She was a member of Slowdive from 1989 to 1995. Goswell and Halstead created Mojave 3 as an offshoot from Slowdive. They opted for a folk- rock sound, rather than Slowdive’s more shoegaze-oriented sound. Before going on hiatus, they released five albums, the last being Puzzles like You in 2006.

She learned folk songs from her father at the age of seven. At age ten, she started studying music theory and classical guitar. Goswell studied classical guitar with Neil Halstead, a childhood friend. Slowdive was formed in 1989 with Halstead. She stated that her musical influences were “Siouxsie Sioux” and “it was [her] that made me want to sing.” Her other favorite singers were Joni Mitchell and Iggy Pop.

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 [and] summery … agreeable, if not very exciting”. Stylus Magazine stated that Waves Are Universal is “a solid album that could appeal to both fans of [Goswell’s] 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.

Why did slowdive break up?

Pygmalion’s drastic departure from dream-pop had prompted the dissolution in multiple ways. Drummer Simon Scott had left Slowdive the previous year, feeling disillusioned by the drum machines, computers, and loops that guitarist and vocalist Neil Halstead had used to make the album largely on his own.

Why was Souvlaki hated?

To critics and music journalists, Souvlaki contained everything that was bad about shoegaze and dream pop. Most critics viewed shoegaze as a very insular genre or a genre that only celebrated itself which made it very hard for critics to listen to and enjoy Slowdive’s music.
