Album Description Their fifth album for 4AD in a relationship that has now spanned a dozen years. "Puzzles" sees the band moving forward in an unexpected direction; these songs are more immediate and poppy than anything they recorded before. The album is filled with the life-affirming light of Mojave 3's Cornish home - splashed with sunlight and the heady sparkle of summertime waves. "Puzzles" is infectious and downright fun, a fact reflected in the exuberant artwork supplied by artist/film director Thomas Campbell (whose film "Sprout" used generous amounts of Mojave and Halstead music), and the marvelously quirky video for "Breaking The Ice" directed by Bradley Beesley (Flaming Lips). Subtle and gorgeous music. Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsTop 10 Albums of 2006 Samuel Malik | 06/08/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I know, I know everyone says that, but in this case, my friend, you might ought to contemplate the veracity of such an assertion. I don't want to throw out Beatles and the Mamas and the Papas references, etc. - namely because everyone is influenced by someone else. And so what? This album is as diverse at it is incredible. Check out the Mutineer, Breaking the Ice, and Just a Boy if you don't believe me. Seriously, check this release out and look 'em up on MySpace. And help me get them to tour the States. This is some of the best music out now." Neil Halstead = Great Songwriter Tankery | New Orleans | 06/23/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This should be on many people's "best of" this year. It's illustrative of just how far Mr. Halstead has come from his teenage years with Slowdive and now with this complete album by one of the more important bands out there. There's echoes of dream pop here but also early REM and psychedelia, all wrapped into quality songs that we now expect from this band and even more importantly from Neil. My favorites are Running with Your Eyes Closed and the elegant mid tempo Big Star Baby, but nothing weak top to bottom here. Perhaps a bit less moody than earlier albums, more up tempo and rootsy, but I believe the best they've done." Overall, Thumbs Up Von Scotty | Central PA | 12/22/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "I was a Slowdive fan before Mojave 3. It took some time for me to enjoy every Mojave 3 record after the release of "Ask Me Tomorrow." It took me quite a few listenings until I really connected with the music.
This record is no exception. Let it play for a while and you will hear this really is a good record. Thats why I always buy a new Mojave 3 album when it comes out. I know that eventually I will really like it. *sidenote* Track 12 is of utmost quality. It think track 12 should appeal to many of the Slowdive and "Ask Me Tomorrow" fans. Drop the 15 bucks and buy this record." |
