...they sounded any more bummed, they’d only be good for salving broken hearts. Mojave 3 sound like Elliott Smith might if he had been dumped by his girlfriend somewhere below the Bible belt—swoony folk with a country bent. Yet despite the relentless heartache of their lyrics, Spoon and Rafter is an undercover upbeat album, suffused with an insistent gleam of sunshine...
