About:
The band released three EPs in 1998 and 1999 which established the group's new sound and met with a warm critical response.
Their debut album Lost Souls (2000). This was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize which they lost to fellow Mancunian and former
front-man Badly Drawn Boy. Doves' second album The Last Broadcast was released two years later, reaching #1 in the UK album chart
and was again nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. This record contained the track "There Goes the Fear", which reached #3 in
the UK singles chart despite only being released for one day before it was deleted. In 2003 the band released a B-sides compilation,
Lost Sides, and a DVD entitled Where We're Calling From, recorded live at a gig in Cornwall's Eden Project.
Doves recorded their third album recorded away from urban influences, and in cottages tucked away in the countrysides of Snowdonia in
Wales, Darlington, England and around Loch Ness, Scotland. "Lyrically, the theme of cities and towns and change started cropping up a
lot…which was strange because we were recording and writing in the countryside, but it started taking this real urban shape". says Jimi
Goodwin The band's third studio album, Some Cities, was released in February 2005 and went straight to #1 in the UK album chart, aided
by some of the strongest reviews they'd received to date, and preceded by the single "Black and White Town," which reached #6 in the UK
singles chart. The song "Black and White Town" was inspired by the social divide in their home town of Wilmslow.
The band are currently working on new material for their fourth LP. The album was expected to be released in late 2007 but according to
their blog, it will be delayed since Andy will be a new father and will be taking some time off. New track titles announced on the official
website include '10.03' and 'Winter Hill,' as well as working titles 'Disco Eyam' and 'Devils in the Detail.'
Dove concerts are known for their background of alternative films playing in the background to different songs.
