We have an Alt-Country sound because of the guitar work and the harmonies we use. The songs are commercial and catchy enough also to be described as Pop/Rock. W
Packing 21 grams of Parsons and a dusting of the Flying Burrito Brothers, Pountney, Clarke, Simpson & Philips come strolling into town like the Fabulous Furry Funk Brothers to preach the holy gospel of country, rock and acoustic beauty. The Mojave Collective, four young men from the Deep South (of Liverpool), play American roots music with a British Pop sensibility and a haphazard sense of style which has seen them hailed as 'crap' (Woman's Own), 'indifferent' (Auto-Trader) and 'pretty damn good actually' (NME).

Story behind the song
Just written about having a jolly good time with ya mates, drinking an having a laugh.
Lyrics
Carnival Lights I don't know how long I've been wild I just know that I've got to roam The whiskey writes a symphony when I drink it tastes like home. I was stranded on a dark night and the moon it was my friend The stars all shine like pals of mine who were down around the bend. But in the morning it'll be alright ‘cos we're kicking out the carnival lights We're getting a heatwave in the autumn time and I'm ready to get out and get saved We were talking from a basement about the mammal's story's solved And doing idiot takes on the sounds they make just to think that we've all evolved. But in the morning it'll be alright cos we're kicking out the carnival lights We're getting a heatwave in the autumn time and I'm ready to get out and get saved I’m singing a song ‘bout the wrongs that I’ve done just to feel like I once belonged. I’m holding the rope I won’t slip, I won’t choke, but I know that I’d better be strong. If honesty pays then I’m finding a way, so extend your love and climb aboard Will you be surprise when you realize that a good thing never dies! But in the morning it'll be alright cos we're kicking out the carnival lights We're getting a heatwave in the autumn time and I'm ready to get out and get saved I don't know how long we've been wild I just know that we've got to roam The whiskey writes our symphony when we drink it tastes like home.
