Finally, here’s a review for you Spanish speaking fans. Its always lovely to hear from folks from all over. Check it out! Doves have never been to Mexico, hopefully when the world is in a better place Doves can make it to this great country! Happy to include reviews in other languages, just drop me a note.

Prisoners – the first single from our forthcoming new album is out now.

It’s about continually chasing something and not being satisfied when you eventually get it. You’ve got ‘that thing’ and you find you’re not any happier. Be careful what you wish for.

Listen to Prisoners here / Lyrics to Prisoners can be found here.

Doves posted this image today across their social media channels, encouraging fans to sign up to their email list ahead of what’s likely to be more news incoming!

Dust off your Clarks tan desert boots because Doves are back! Yes, after a bit of a break, Jimi with the beard, Jez with the guitar –was it? –and his brother Andy at the back, have popped a new song online. It’s classic Doves, actually: more experimental than they get credit for; epic yet strangely comforting and infused with the very specific mopey sadness of a large basset hound.

From today’s The Guardian.
