New Review Of Glasgow ABC Show At NME.com

NME.com have today posted a live review of Doves’ recent show at Glasgow’s ABC on March 15th.

They open with ‘Jetstream’, the curtain-raiser from new album ‘Kingdom Of Rust’ and a lush, melodic wave of eerie krautrock that’s audibly inspired by Vangelis’ Blade Runner soundtrack. Yet it’s not until the grand arabesque strings of ‘Snowden’ gallop into life that we realise just how we’ve missed them.

To read the full review, visit NME.com’s dedicated Doves minisite at www.nme.com/doves and click “Reviews”.

DOVES DAY

Friday March 27th is Doves day at NME radio. Tracks from the new album will be played all day. The band will be hosting an hour as well. That same day doves will also be performing a live session on the Steve Lamacq show. Next day doves then are performing tracks for 6music’s The Hub.

Thanks to #1 for pointing out that Doves are on the cover of Chimp Magazine. For those who can’t pick up a copy. Take a look at these scans over at flickr.

I’ve had a few people ask me about where the album can be found to download. Sorry I wont be posting any links to leaks on this blog. Yes the album is out there. But the only link I have is on the left of the page that takes you to order at amazon. If your in London, The Social will be hosting the first public hearing next Monday afternoon from 1pm. You should be able to score some doves goodies as well, whilst your there.
