Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives
I became aware of Kathryn through Stuart Braithwaite from Mogwai. A lot of my choices here are about the voice. Different people in Slowdive listen to different aspects of songs, and voices are very important to me. Kathryn’s voice is out there; it’s very different. I’m not gonna say she’s like Liz Fraser, but Kathryn’s got very unique voice. And I think this record is just really, really beautiful.
Ahead of their performance at this year’s Green Man festival, Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell talks to Julian Marszalek about being the only goth in the village, the enduring power of the voice and why pen pals and fan clubs are beautiful things.
