Mojave 3 - Excuses for Travellers - Vinyl Record
Excuses for Travellers is Mojave 3's third album and their most fully realized statement. Released in 2000 on 4AD, it finds Neil Halstead, Rachel Goswell, and the expanded five-piece lineup settling into a lush, unhurried sound that blends country, folk, and dreamy pop into something entirely their own.
"In Love with a View" is the album's warm centerpiece, while "Return to Sender" and "Bluebird of Happiness" drift along on pedal steel and gentle harmonies. Halstead's songwriting reaches a new level of quiet confidence here, and the production gives every instrument room to breathe. Tracks like "Going Deaf" and "Violence in a Quiet Mind" add a darker edge that keeps the album from ever feeling too comfortable.
A gorgeous, slow-burning record that rewards every listen.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
