{"product_id":"pre-order-mojave-3-excuses-for-travellers-lp","title":"Pre-Order: Mojave 3 - Excuses For Travellers [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eMojave 3's founding members are vocalist\/guitarist Neil Halstead, bassist\/vocalist Rachel Goswell, and drummer Ian McCutcheon, members of definitive shoegazers Slowdive. The band broke cover in 1995, when a six-track demo impressed 4AD sufficiently to offer them a deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExcuses for Travellers\u003c\/em\u003e was the first of two consecutive albums recorded with the help of friend and electronic artist Mark Van Hoen. Combining the melancholy and stripped-down intimacy of \u003cem\u003eAsk Me Tomorrow\u003c\/em\u003e and the Laurel Canyon soul of \u003cem\u003eOut of Tune\u003c\/em\u003e, it finds the band refining their touch to create a more cohesive record that rightfully sits at the middle of their ever-morphing sound. \nLusciously textured with restrained guitar, drums, pedal steel, horns, and piano, it's an introspective campfire record that let's Neil's voice and songwriting take center stage (\"In Love with a View,\" \"My Life in Art,\" \"She Broke You So Softly\"), while also featuring the only two Mojave tracks solely credited to Rachel (\"Bringin' Me Home\") and Ian (\"Got My Sunshine\"). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReflecting on his growth as a songwriter, Neil says, \"Unlike Slowdive, where the music is at the forefront and nobody is focusing on what anyone's saying, you couldn't really hide the lyrics with Mojave 3. I had to think about them more, work harder on them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMojave 3's own myth has grown, resulting in their records being some of 4AD's most requested reissues of the last decade. With these 2026 reissues putting all five albums in print once again, perhaps it's Mojave 3's time to rise from the ashes and fly once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\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\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 191400082816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4AD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.24.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMPLIFIED MEDIA SERVICES, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52207360114990,"sku":"n191400082816","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/7856\/0814\/files\/Mojave_3_-_Excuses_For_Travellers.png?v=1781642294","url":"https:\/\/parkavecds.shop\/products\/pre-order-mojave-3-excuses-for-travellers-lp","provider":"Park Ave CDs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
