Timeline

1971

Rachel Ann 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, which formed in 1989.

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.

1988

Goswell formed the indie rock band the Pumpkin Fairies with Neil Halstead, Adrian Sell and Nick Chaplin in 1988, after having played in several cover bands in Reading.

1989

Goswell took classical guitar lessons along with childhood friend Neil Halstead, with whom she formed Slowdive in 1989.

She was influenced, from a singing point of view, by Siouxsie Sioux", "it was [she] who made me want to be a singer." Joni Mitchell, Iggy Pop and Nick Cave were her other favorite singers. Goswell was also inspired by the Cocteau Twins; she discovered their music at 16 and "found myself immersed in the magic and wonder of their overall sound musically." The songs that influenced her the most were: "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" by The Smiths, "92 Degrees" from Siouxsie and the Banshees' Tinderbox album, "Persephone" from Cocteau Twins' Treasure album and "River" by Joni Mitchell.

When the Pumpkin Fairies dissolved in 1989, the group then formed Slowdive in the same year.

Goswell was in a relationship with fellow Slowdive vocalist and guitarist Neil Halstead from 1989 to 1993, breaking up shortly before the release of Souvlaki.

1993

Rachel Goswell's 1993 Slowdive guitar rig consisted of a Fender '72 Telecaster Thinline, a Boss OD-2 Turbo Overdrive, a Yamaha FX-500 Multi-FX unit and a Roland JC-77 Jazz Chorus 2x10 combo amp.

1994

Goswell was married to Air Cuba's Christopher Andrews from 1994 until 2000.

Goswell was involved with American songwriter Mark Kozelek during the Mojave 3 era, which he referenced on the Sun Kil Moon song "Garden of Lavender".

1995

She was a member of Slowdive until the band's dissolution in 1995.

After the disbandment, 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.

2004

She released a solo album in 2004, titled Waves Are Universal on 4AD Records.

Goswell was born in Fareham, Hampshire, England.

Her family moved to Wales after her birth, and to Reading, Berkshire when she was seven, where she spent the rest of her youth.

She has an older brother.

Her father taught her folk guitar songs from the age of seven, and she began studying classical guitar and music theory at age ten.

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".

2005

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.

As a result, Goswell had to stop playing and touring with Mojave 3.
