Doves Make Their Return To Canada

Last night Doves ventured back to Toronto for the first time in four years, touring in support of newest release Kingdom Of Rust. You'd expect some rust given their lengthy hiatus, but the band were in perfect form. They even apologized for bringing the cool, damp U.K. weather with them. But they really should have apologized for openers Wild...

Doves — Kingdom Of Rust

There are seas, oceans and a hill in Doves' rusty kingdom. Whether listeners let their imagination take them cascading down a cliff or they merely just close their eyes and listen, it's an enjoyable ride. The album may sound a little too much like the stadium standards of Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends at times, but it's...

Doves — Some Cities

Drawing equally from the cool atmospherics of Lost Souls and the emotional explosiveness of their sophomore release, The Last Broadcast, Some Cities is Doves’ best and most consistent effort to date. On their new disc, the Manchester trio cut out much of the excess bombast that’s marked their earlier material. Andy Williams trades in The Last...

Doves — Lost Souls

Curiously, this debut disc was eight years in the making. The trio was originally from the Manchester acid house scene band Sub Sub. After various mishaps and false...

Doves — "Winter Hill"

in
Doves' video for "Winter Hill," a track from this year's Kingdom Of Rust, sees a biker fleeing a mob of onlookers while he performs some pretty awesome tricks. This reminds me of Combat Zone, that MuchMusic show where two videos used to get pitted against each other. Which is the better video — this, or Dinosaur Jr.'s "Over It...

Pumping: Doves — Kingdom Of Rust

OK, they're never going to release an album as good as 2002's The Last Broadcast. I've accepted that fact. But this is still pretty damn good, even though there's a song on here that rips off Pink Floyd's "On The Run."
