Mojave 3

"Halstead, bassplayer/vocalist Rachel Goswell, guitarist Simon Rowe (ex-Chapterhouse), keyboardist Alan Forrester and drummer Ian McCutcheon - broke cover in 1995, when a six-track demo impressed 4AD sufficiently to offer the band a deal, despite a then-prevailing musical climate of bumptious Britpop that seemed totally at odds with what Mojave 3 were doing.

To suggest that Mojave 3's third album, "Excuses For Travellers" is their best by some distance is not to disparage its predecessors, but merely to reflect the fact that the "simple songs" contained on it are Halstead's best yet. The two singles, "In Love With A View" and "Any Day Will Be Fine" between them hint at what Mojave 3 have accomplished here. The former is a lachrymose epic infused with the rueful wisdom that characterised the best work of Paul Simon or Jimmy Webb; the latter is possibly Halstead's first attempt at writing an unabashed pop song, and should add the name Brian Wilson to those routinely dropped in reviews of Mojave 3."

Feather by Feather

"You spent half of the morning
Just trying to wake up
Half the evening
Just trying to calm down
And you live for
The same things
A cloudburst seems rarer every time

And it's crow vs. crow
A brawl in mid-air
Beak click on beak clack
No reason is there
But for the brawl in mid-air

If you're losing your wings
Feather by feather
Love the way they whip away
On the wind

When they make the movie of your life
They're going to have to ask you
To do your own stunts
Because nobody nobody nobody
Could pull off the same shit as you
And still come out alright

If you're losing your wings
Feather by feather
Love the way they whip away
On the wind

It's Ali vs. Clay
Both pummeling away
A champ always fights themself

And you are a fighter
You are a fighter
You are a fighter

And Kids got heart
Kids got heart
Kids got heart

If you're losing your wings
Feather by feather"
