The Doves

Forget pre-Doves stories of fires melting mixing desks, of disco smashes, and years spent looking for singers when they already had three voices at their disposal. Wave goodbye to a newsagents shelf full of flying/bird gags. Two years on from the critically acclaimed 'Lost Souls' album, and at least five recording studios, two sell out US tours and a whole lifetime of touring excesses later - Doves return with a new LP which, as stately, as creative, as assured, as diverse and as crafted as it undeniably is, will ensure that the past is a well thumbed volume now permanently out of print.
