Mojave

Bio:

“Promising newcomers”
~ Gary Trust, Billboard Magazine

“Crow’s Funeral is one of the best acoustic offerings you will hear this year”
~ Dave Smith, Ravenheart Music

“The songs are haunting and just absolutely gorgeous.”
~ Jeanne Dupuis, Canadian Music News

“Crow’s Funeral is a dark, resounding album full of many different layers, both musically and emotionally, which gives a glimpse into the lives of its composers that can catch you off guard; a rare feat, and a beautiful one.”
~ Sarah Morrison, Insomnia Radio

It all began with acoustic guitars, two voices and a Vancouver beach. In 2007, Paul and Lisa Jarvis started writing songs together as a mellow release from their hard rock bands. By the time those bands called it quits, the duo had enough material for the first Mojave album, Stories. The Mojave sound takes Paul and Lisa’s hard rock roots and winds in a quieter intensity. Lisa’s clear vocals soar over delicate acoustic guitars, viola, violin, and eclectic percussion – weaving melodies, telling stories.

Mojave’s second album, Crow’s Funeral, was produced by Dan Achen (City & Colour, Feist) and recorded at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, ON. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and after being approached by several established labels, Mojave decided to launch their own label, called Black Canvas Records. It’s a move intended to give the band full creative control and take greater advantage of social media, guerrilla marketing, promotion, and digital distribution strategies.

Inseparable from Mojave’s music is a deep commitment to the planet. The band carbon offsets all travel through Less.ca and donates a portion of their profits to environmental charities through 1% for the Planet. The Crow’s Funeral CD is printed on FSC paper with soy ink and a biodegradable overwrap. Paul and Lisa also help raise money for the Rest.Q Animal Sanctuary and the Stillpointe Llama Sanctuary, where they have adopted a charmingly mischievous llama named Starman.
