Mojave 3 – Puzzles Like You (2026 Remaster)
Mojave 3 – Puzzles Like You (2026 Remaster) completes the band's 2026 4AD vinyl reissue series, bringing their final studio album back into print newly remastered at Abbey Road. Originally released in 2006, the record captures Mojave 3 at their brightest and most immediate, moving away from the slow-burning country-dream atmosphere of their earliest work toward a more upbeat indie-pop sound.
Full of jangling guitars, Sixties-inspired melodies and warm melodic hooks, Puzzles Like You sits naturally alongside the indie rock of its era while retaining the songwriting character that made Mojave 3 so distinctive. Songs such as "Truck Driving Man", "Most Days", "Big Star Baby", "Breaking the Ice" and "The Mutineer" show Neil Halstead, Rachel Goswell and Ian McCutcheon embracing a more playful and accessible approach without losing the reflective tone that runs through the band's catalogue.
The album is an important final chapter in the Mojave 3 story. After five albums, the group stepped away just as Slowdive's influence was beginning to be rediscovered by a new generation. In the years since, Mojave 3's own reputation has steadily grown, making these reissues some of 4AD's most requested catalogue returns.
Ideal for fans of The Shins, Band of Horses, Big Star, Slowdive and melodic alternative rock, this 2026 remastered LP edition is an essential addition for anyone completing the Mojave 3 vinyl collection.
