Album Notes & Community Reviews
The debut solo album from the Slowdive and Mojave 3 vocalist is a remarkably gentle, acoustic-driven affair. 'Waves Are Universal' steps away from dense shoegaze feedback in favor of warmly pastoral contemporary folk, highlighting Goswell's delicate, whispery delivery over subtle alt-country arrangements.
