Rachel Goswell has sorted through a broad spectrum of sounds in her career -- the dreamy melodic excursions of her early Nineties band Slowdive and the countrified pop of Mojave 3. With her first solo album, she synthesizes sonic moments from both groups but assumes a more personal quality. "Warm Summer Sun," projects hauntingly revealing lyrics, coated with driving bagpipe that drones to heighten the somber mood. Moving beyond the natural sun-and-moon-inspired imagery of the album's first segment, "Plucked" brightens things with a blissful love tune, while "Coastline" breeds a Cranberries-tinged alt-rock element to help stabilize the mix.
