Ask Me Tomorrow
Released
When Neil Halstead, Rachel Goswell and Ian McCutcheon from Slowdive regrouped as Mojave 3 following the stark beauty of Pygmalion, Halsted had taken a turn towards a drowsy and elegant form of country-tinged psych in the vein of David Roback’s work in Opal and Mazzy Star. Add in some of Nick Drake’s understated folk leanings and the result was a strong debut in Ask Me Tomorrow, ranging from the opening sway and soothe of “Love Songs On The Radio” to the building drama of the closer “Mercy” which rightfully bookended this new sonic approach.
