The band broke cover in 1995, when a six-track demo impressed 4AD sufficiently to offer them a deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNever ones to sit still, Spoon and Rafter marked a shift for Mojave 3. While still containing echoes of singer-songwriters and alt-country, the record represents a Technicolor expansion of their palette that utilizes electronics, glockenspiels, melodica, and Beatlesque production. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"It's quite a bonkers album, really,\" says Ian. \"By that stage we had our own studio again on the north Cornish coast in the UK. We had time to pick up different instruments and just faff around.

Thanks to Mark [Van Hoen] it was the first time we used an early Pro Tools system to edit stuff together, so some of the tracks are much longer and more orchestrated, like 'Bluebird of Happiness,' which has three different sections that were all recorded separately and then chopped together. \" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMojave 3's own myth has grown, resulting in their records being some of 4AD's most requested reissues of the last decade.
