Portland Review

OregonLive.com has published a great review of Doves’ show at Portland’s Wonder Ballroom venue.

The encore also included a subtle, understated performance of the beautifully melancholic “The Last Broadcast.” “It comes to a point when you feel nothing,” Goodwin sang. “This is the last time.”

Based on the strength of their performance, if the Doves are the last band to ever broadcast, I can’t say I would mind too much.

The band opened with Kingdom of Rust track “Jetstream,” which seemed to mirror the overall performance, as the night continued to build progressively, just like the song.

L.A. Weekly Reviews Wiltern Show

LA Weekly.com has today posted a great review of Doves’ recent show at the city’s Wiltern Theatre.

L.A. Weekly.com

Doves, on stage and record, are all about consistency: set (and career) standouts are subtle and troughs shallow. They marry baggy Madchester roots to U2’s sense of scale and cop strummy Brit-pop attitude while bristling with “Bristol sound” (Portishead/Tricky) electro/organic textures. Their all-eyes-off-us, bloke-down-the-pub lack of pretense last night only left their music more vivid. There was appreciative between-song bonhomie and de rigueur big screen projections, but essentially this was four musicians playing tunes.
