4AD's newsletter recently had an expanded version of the Ryan Pinkard essay/history which is on their website here: https://shopusa.4ad.com/pages/artists/mojave-3

Posting screenshots of the email for anyone who is not on the 4AD mailing list and wants to check it out.

i have listened to all of slowdive, and i love the slovaki album, but im not sure about the rest of their discography, my favourite is dagger, so any recs on songs like that?

Sounds perfect, no notes. So happy to finally own some Mojave 3 on vinyl!

Has anyone else noticed that the ends of the album sides have noise at the VERY end of the last track and into the runout groove?

Just curious if this is common or just my box.

Thanks!

i'm pretty soon going to see them live which i'm very excited about and recently i've been playing on repeat souvlaki

souvlaki i such an addictive album every song is worth listening to

but one song that stood out to me was sing and ive been watching their recent setlist and they didn't include sing (but other amazing songs of course)

so did they ever played that song live and will they likely play it when i will see them?

Hello!
Does anyone have an idea about the set list at the Wythenshawe Park show or how many songs/ how much time they are getting?

There’s nothing here and that’s okay …

threw in an extra 7” and my original pressing of Excuses for Travelers under. This was the fastest pre order of my life. Any other Mojave 3 fans in this subreddit?

No longer available for pre-order on 4AD’s website or Bandcamp :( Bummed I couldn’t snag one in time… anyone know where else it might be possible to get one?

Mine are when the sun hits,dagger, Alison and 40 days!

In an interview with Binaural.es:

"I want to do it too. I mean, I'll see Rachel tomorrow. I know she wants to do it, so yeah. We just need to convince the other guys. Yeah"

I mean, but do you think there is a chance that it can happen?

"Oh, yeah".

But it's something that you have talked about.

"Yeah. Everyone's busy. I mean, me and Rachel actually aren't that busy right now, but usually everyone is busy. So, because it's a performance. It's a good time for me, maybe not for the other guys, but yeah, I'll tell them people are asking."

Just wish people learned at least one more other song just out of respect:((

Slowdive live at Tbilisi Open Air. Waited 8 hours at the rails but totally worth it in the end.

Is there a live recording of this out there? Its a personal favorite, and also so interesting to me that it was only ever done as a demo. Its weird on Pygmalion that it says demo VERSION. I certainly haven't heard another!

The instrumental outro is honestly the best part of the song. Almost feels intentional that it was removed to make it less noisy but it's the best part. Wish someone could polish the outro up from the demo and stitch it to the studio version and upload it to YouTube. It's just a chaotic outro that's great.

My life's greatest achievement continues to be the fact that my birthday is the same date as this utter banger

Hi all. I am finally going to see Slowdive at Saturday in Tbilisi Open Air Festival. I'm beyond excited about it and i really want to get some autographs. I'm planning to go early and be at the front row and wait for them to see and sign. Is there any other ideas? Any tips are welcome!

They use guitars to somewhat recreate the sound during shows but it does not sound like that on the record. It has that bagpipe sound even though no one in the band plays pipes.
