Excuses for Travellers (2026 Remaster)

This album is a PRE-ORDER shipping to arrive around July 24, 2026. 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. Third album Excuses For Travellers contained some of the most ambitious Halstead compositions yet.
