Doves – New Album This Summer

I just recently began listening to Doves (not, the Doves, just “Doves”). Not as poppy as Snow Patrol (but similar enough to remind me of them), more melodic that The National (deeper voice), and they’ve got a slight Elvis Costello thing going on. Sometimes I want to snap my fingers with their music…then I realize if I did that I would deserve a face punch.

Hailing from the lovely town of Manchester England (I’ve never been…so I have no proof. But isn’t England lovely?), they’re a band that I wish I would’ve known about years ago. It’s the type of thing where you come along late, and they’ve already got multiple well established albums, so you’re not sure where to start. Anyhow, I decided to buy their most recent album, “Some Cities,” and wait for their newest disc that is slated to arrive at the end of this summer.

I’m really enjoying it. I’m not far enough into the disc to say what my favorite is…

Check out a chill track “Almost Forgot Myself”

Josh, if you like Some Cities, you'd love the Last Broadcast. That's the disc that got me full on into Doves, and it's seriously one of the best album of the past 10 years. Lost Souls is great too, though darker and less upbeat than Some Cities. Everything they do is really magnificent, even their B-sides collection, Lost Sides. Can't wait for the new album, cause it's been far too long. Cheers.
