what people have to say:
"Rachel Goldstar is still best known for her work fronting Austin space rock mainstays Experimental Aircraft, though she has also loaned her hypnotic voice to England's Monster Movie. Her solo work mines similarly dreamy territory." - the onion
Local two-tone axe gal Rachel Goldstar is clear on her vinyl stance, the Experimental Aircraft flyer's see-through 45 ringing up a trio of tunes for ATX's Rollerderby Records. "Untitled Instrumental" is L.A. snowdrift on "Christmas Day," itself a hypno-dirge smeared with guitar and vox that reaches full sunburst on the flip side, "Fourteen Hours." - the austin chronicle (all three of the songs mentioned here from the 7" are on the cd release)
"Best known from her work with Experimental Aircraft, here she goes it solo, stripping away some of the shoegaze for a more Young Marble Giants/K Records blend of minimal pop." - emo's
"Searing synths coat layers of lightly, but precisely strummed guitars. Drums pound a steady metronomic pulse but never try to overpower. All instruments seem to bleed into one another as a sole unit. Twinkling xylophones come out of nowhere and make you see stars, kind of like before fainting." - end of an ear
Languid guitar shoeglaze psyche. - vinyl mine
