In his solo guise as Gold Star, Marlon Rabenreither’s woozy, melancholic songs have the feel of instant classics, reminiscent of any number of writers who had dicey relationships with their Muse. The former art-schooler and frontman of the Sister Ruby Band seems to operate from the premise that the best way to achieve clarity is to find the bottom and look up. And so it is with the new “Get Down My Devil,” from Gold Star’s forthcoming album “Dark Days,” realized here in the straightforward video by Moni Haworth. You’ve had nights like this, on the way home, alone, except for your regrets.
