The Living and The Dead CD :

Yes, Jolie Holland knows Jack Kerouac's Mexico City Blues. Over the mariachi horns of "Mexico City," the Texas singer introduces Jack, who drinks too much because "there was nowhere else to go." That apocalyptic feeling pervades this sepia-toned album, boosted by M. Ward's scraggly hooks. Holland has a soft spot for sad sacks — the "ghost-faced junkie" of "Corrido por Buddy," the lover who made her "little heart a graveyard" on "Palmyra" — but her honeyed harmonies keep the mood from getting too gloomy. And when she busts out a fiddle on "Sweet Loving Man," a Fifties-style country tune about a velvet-tongued drifter, you can picture Kerouac nodding in approval.

The band initially existed as a trio consisting of Halstead, Goswell, and McCutcheon. After Slowdive were dropped by Creation Records, the trio decided to change musical direction to a dream pop/country rock or folk music style, and were signed by 4AD Records. They took on the new name "Mojave", but upon the discovery of another band already using the name, the "3" was added due to the group's three members. Rowe (formerly of Chapterhouse) and Forrester joined shortly after the release of their first album.

Both Halstead (the main songwriter for the band) and Goswell have released solo albums, also for 4AD. McCutcheon founded and is currently playing with his band called The Loose SaluteHeavenly Records. who are signed to Heavenly Records.
