The Guardian Somerset House Review

It’s the older tracks that most provoke these communal happy/sad moments, in particular the encore’s one-two punch of The Cedar Room –their debut single, colossal Bonham-esque drums underpinning its slow-burn mantra –and There Goes the Fear, perhaps Doves’ signature tune.

You wonder how many here have had their fried post-party minds soothed and guided back to safety by Doves’ music over the years; certainly, it’s a trick they’ve pulled off again.
