Excuses for Travellers (2026 Remaster)

Mojave 3's founding members are vocalist/guitarist Neil Halstead, bassist/vocalist Rachel Goswell, and drummer Ian McCutcheon. 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. Mojave 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. Third album 'Excuses for Travellers' contained some of the most ambitious Halstead compositions yet.
