Mojave 3
Indie Rock / Alternative
THREE albums in, and trying to pin down Mojave 3 remains a pursuit as useful and feasible as trying to put a fence around a cloud (a recommendation, obviously). Even Neil Halstead - who, as Mojave 3's singer and principal songwriter, might be reckoned to have a better chance of defining the band than most - is defeated by the task. He's heard all the things other people have said, of course, has pondered an impressive litany of praise which has included favourable comparisons to Cowboy Junkies, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan and Gram Parsons, but still sounds none the wiser. If he doesn't think about these things too much himself, it's probably only a reflection of the fact that he wishes more people would just listen to the records; it's why he makes them the way he does.
