Marlon Rabenreither was born in Austria, but he is now LA based and has spent a decade recording as Gold Star. On albums such as ‘Big Blue’ and ‘Uppers and Downers’, Rabenreither’s lovelorn lyricism and languid melodic sensibility helped to gain the attention of numerous Indie noteworthies and he has collaborated and toured with artists the likes of Mazzy Star, Phoebe Bridgers, the Black Lips, Stephen Malkmus and most recently, Orville Peck.
His new album ‘How To Shoot the Moon‘ steps away from the Laurel Canyonisms of his earlier work and instead embraces love, addiction, and the passage of time as today’s song demonstrates as it contemplates a spiralling of addiction into a long drawn out descent.
This guy is the business. Hope he comes to the UK soon.
