The band broke cover in 1995, when a six-track demo impressed 4AD sufficiently to offer them a deal, despite a then-prevailing musical climate of bumptious Britpop that seemed totally at odds with what Mojave 3 were doing. Their incongruence was hardly surprising given that Halstead, Goswell and McCutcheon had formed as members of definitive shoegazers Slowdive, while guitarist Simon Rowe had previously served with dreampop kindred spirits Chapterhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMojave 3’s debut, Ask Me Tomorrow, was a refreshingly stripped down collection that changed little from the original demos. Halstead’s melodic, folk- and country-tinged songs drew favourable (if lazy) comparisons to Nick Drake, Cowboy Junkies and Bob Dylan. Three years later, Out Of Tune continued where the first album left off and showed a group that had grown in both confidence and cohesiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird album Excuses For Travellers contained some of the most ambitious Halstead compositions yet. Spoon and Rafter followed three years later marking another shift for the band. While still containing echoes of singer-songwriters and alt-country, the record represents a technicolor expansion of their palette that utilizes electronics, glockenspiels, melodica, and Beatlesque production. Their final album, 2006’s Puzzles Like You is a positively bright and fun record that feels right at home next to indie rock contemporaries like The Shins and Band of Horses, while sounding nearly unrecognizable next to the band they were on Ask Me Tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Love With A View\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrying To Reach You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Life In Art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturn To Sender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen You’re Drifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny Day Will Be Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Broke You So Softly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrayer For The Paranoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBringin’ Me Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGot My Sunshine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Mojave 3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48959502057720,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/7403\/files\/mojave3_37dd937e-75ba-4cd5-bf86-7722134b58d8.jpg?v=1781582456","url":"https:\/\/happyvalleyshop.com\/products\/mojave-3-excuses-for-travellers-black-vinyl","provider":"Happy Valley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
