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.\u003cbr\u003e\nLusciously textured with restrained guitar, drums, pedal steel, horns, and piano, it’s an introspective campfire record that lets 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”).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nReflecting 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","brand":"MATADOR DIRECT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52672627966228,"sku":"272209","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/0491\/7101\/files\/e01435eeExcuses_20For_20Travellers.jpg?v=1781636519","url":"https:\/\/yellowracketrecords.com\/products\/pre-order-mojave-3-excuses-for-travellers-cd-07-24","provider":"Yellow Racket Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
