muses and sirens dance at a silent beach party. waves of blurry guitar fuzz break and recede. murmuring magic words.

this cd ep is an explosive debut by the texas duo that proves they are a band you are going to want to watch out for in the future. down the rabbit hole we go... picture flying saucer attack, mazzy star, pram and seefeel all getting together for a jam session and you might be close. all in the golden afternoon's fuzzy laid back guitar driven songs are a breath of fresh air and have a way of making you want to take the day off of work to just float away. this wonderful debut ep features 6 songs that flow together seamlessly and leave you begging for more. welcome to wonderland alice!
Ltd to 1000 copies. only 600 copies to be distributed. full length album out this summer.

all in the golden afternoon is rachel (experimental aircraft/eau claire/the static silence) and carlos (ex-polyphonic spree/the shells), both playing every instrument they can get their hands on.

tidal wave will be featured on the upcoming mind expansion records compilation...due out any day...also featuring bardo pond, the telescopes, spectrum, faust, asteroid 4, fuxa, mercury rev, lsd and the search for god, the morning after girls and more.

everything you hear was recorded on a tascam 38 reel-to-reel machine. only 8 tracks to work with (sometimes 7 if the machine is not having a good day). carlos and rachel do this to explore analog sound and test their skills.

The Austin Chronicle
EP review
The name comes from a hallucinogenic Lewis Carroll poem, but the newly married Rachel Staggs (Experimental Aircraft) and Carlos Jackson (the Shells) have infused their local debut as All in the Golden Afternoon with more looking glass, less rabbit hole. The title track is a reverb cruise through shoegaze's heyday and Ex Air's waves of sound, while the drum-free drone of "Anymore Anyway" echoes the Spacemen 3's "Ecstasy Symphony," both marbled down by Staggs' breathy purr. "Sunshine Is Fine" is instrumental dream-pop bliss, organ and guitar mirroring each other's feedback, and "Future Faster Now" revels in a Stereolab-ish space-pop polish. Bookended by a short intro and outro, "Garden of Live Flowers" and "The Lion and the Unicorn," All in the Golden Afternoon's six short songs never quite get to ask Alice, but they're nice aural Xanax in the meantime.

Trends come and go, but much like the blues, Austin will always have a special place in its heart for space rock. Fitting, since groups like Spacemen 3 and The Jesus And Mary Chain might never have existed without our own 13th Floor Elevators. These days, plenty of Austin bands have kept the delay pedals burning for the shoegaze movement, though probably none as prolifically (or sweetly) as the ethereal Rachel Goldstar, whose latest project, All In The Golden Afternoon, is as sunny and breezy as the name suggests.

All In The Golden Afternoon is the newest project from Austin's resident space-rock princess Rachel Goldstar, who makes blissed-out pop with husband-to-be Carlos Jackson.

Jessica Bailiff & Annelies Monseré - Untitled ep
cdep, morc 48
--------------------------
Although it’s just the two of them, this ep has a very built-up sound, which is reminiscent of Jessica’s earliest output and Annelies’ most recent live shows. Vocals, guitars and cello- and keyboard drones get a very prominent role on these recordings.

The cdep comes in a ltd. edition of 310 numbered copies, in an lp-alike sleeve, with partially handwritten linernotes by annelies.
