CD Description
Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell formed Mojave 3 after breaking up their band Slowdive, whose two albums won acclaim for their luxuriously languorous songs. With Mojave 3, they accentuate the lovely lassitude by going acoustic, with strummed guitars supported by piano, cello, light drums and slide-guitar leads seemingly summoned from the Cowboy Junkies' velvety folk underground. The spacey acoustic feel of these songs of longing and losing also brings to mind Mazzy Star and the Red House Painters, but Mojave 3, who are British, add a'60s folk-pop sensibility to the form. Halstead and Goswell's pretty two-part harmonies often recall Simon & Garfunkel.The sad, slow gait of these songs suggests what might have happened if Simon had stumbled upon ambient instead of African music.

Customer Reviews

Ask Me Tommorrow - a review
Mojave 3 feature most of the members of ex Creation records band Slowdive, whom I used to love. It's a big change in direction from Slowdive. Whereas emotions were previously hidden behind feedback you now get wide open spaces and simplicity. The music is very quiet and dreamy. It's simple minimal arrangements of acoustic guitars, cello and piano, with Rachel Goswell's lovely distant voice. It's quiet and peaceful Alt-County and it reminds me of early Mazzy Star.

Ask Me Tomorrow is so unforgiving bleak it's sometimes hard to listen to. The only time I listen to this album is on my own at 4am when I should have gone to bed hours ago. It's nearly impossible to listen to this when the sun is in the sky. This album has found a niche as a lovely album to dream to and ponder on things. Some of the songs are a bit forgettable but others are really beautiful, especially Love Songs on the Radio and Tomorrow's Taken. This album is well worth owning to have on hand for those confusing moments late at night where you're unsure about the world.

Beautiful like the stars at night!
There are three absolutely amazing reasons to own this album, and they are:-

"You're Beautiful" "Lovesongs On The Radio" and "Pictures".

If you can't listen to those songs and see the magic and fragility of love, then you are totally without soul.

One of the best reasons for owning a stereo?
