Celebmix have posted an interview they did with Andy. The topic of discussion of course is the new album, an excerpt below. Andy also shares his thoughts on the possibility of resuming live shows next spring.

What are some of your proudest moments on the album?

Yeah, there were a couple of moments in the studio when we were playing things back and thinking, ‘this sounds great’. There’s a lot of playing on this album. Some of the songs on our previous records have been like a patchwork quilt, you know, just putting stuff together. On this record, there’s quite a lot of live playing and it was good to see that the chemistry between us was still there which is something that I think all of us in the band cherish. There were some moments in the studio where there was a really good buzz.

An excellent review of The Universal Want in the October issue of Uncut. 👌

Thanks to John Mc!

On Sunday July 26th, Doves took part in their second #TimsTwitterListeningParty this time for The Last Broadcast. The event was part of a weekend of events put on by Bluedot festival, the weekend the festival should have taken place at Jodrell Bank.

You can replay the listening party here in real time. Doves have kindly expanded upon some of their tweets to give us the definitive lowdown on how they made The Last Broadcast almost 20 years ago.

An absolute gem of a video taken from a performance Doves did for a Spanish TV show called Radio:3. I’d hazard a guess it was recorded around August of 2000. Enjoy!

For all you completists out there, your Doves collection isn’t complete without the Japanese edition of the new album, complete with the OBI strip!

You can pre-order your copy of the Japanese edition of The Universal Want at cdjapan here. The bonus tracks are the Remnants EP tracks There Goes The Fear (Live Acoustic) & the Four Tet remix of M62 Song.

Thanks to Jimmy for the heads up!

Unsurprisingly, Doves added second nights in London & Glasgow. There won’t be an extra show in Manchester due the venue being unavailable.
