Outline Online Interview
Norwich based Outline
You recently announced a two year break from touring and recording and I wondered what your thinking was behind that?
The main reason is to get off the carousel of tour, studio, tour, studio, tour, studio which just got a bit boring. We’re gonna do some individual projects and then hopefully come back and do the Doves fifth album with something to bring to the table. I think we all need to do individual things for our own sanity really. We’ll come back revitalised ‘cause we’ll have been to different musical territories than we would with Doves so it’s gonna be a good thing.
Are you going to be doing individual music projects or will it be other stuff?
Well we’ll be doing music separately but I can’t tell you anything about it yet.
You were Sub Sub before you were Doves. Have you ever been tempted to release a dance track under an alter ego?
Well that might be part of one of our projects outside Doves, so you might see that, yeah.
There’s been a rumour floating around for a while that you’re going to be doing something with Guy Garvey. Is that still on the cards or has it gone on the back burner?
Yeah that could still be on the cards, absolutely. We’re good mates with Elbow so that could well be a reality.

Not a whole lot going on..
As you probably guessed, not a great deal going on in doves world. I have been enjoying the Delphic record. Great news for those of us at the wrong side of the pond, Delphic have been anounced to play Coachella so here’s hoping for a few more shows stateside.
Doves
Cherry Ghost have also put up some new tunes in unmixed form up on the myspace page. Black Fang sounded great live last year, could be a single I reckon?
Sub Sub
The
Spaceface is available to buy on the Hacienda Classics compilation album (pictured) that was released a few years back. Available to buy at all good CD/online mp3 stores.
Tracks such as Ain’t No Love & Past are also available to buy on various CDs/download stores.
Senna
Last
Ally wrote letting me know that Senna was also featured on the German CD single release. This I did not know of! Hope to track down a copy of this someday soon (if anyone has a copy they would be willing to sell email me). So..
With many many thanks to Ally, I can offer up Senna taken from the CD single..
Lost Sub Sub Gem: Senna
Ever
I have offered up the Coast EP previously, just do a search to find that in the archives. Related to Coast is a track titled Senna which was featured on the Angel 12″ double pack in 1994. Senna is an early alternate version of Coast, which was retitled as a tribute to Ayrton Senna.
Please note the quality of this rip is really bad! But as this track has been requested so often, I will offer up this poor quality mp3, straight from my own vinyl so you can at least get a sample of this track. If anyone wants to offer up a better quality mp3, I’d love to hear from you!
Joe Roberts & Melanie Williams
A
It also seems as if Jimi is still jaming with the two of them! Jimi featured on Joe Roberts said 93 album playing guitar & backing vocals. The two go way back when they were a band called The Risk as teenagers, Jimi’s first band. Joe later provided backing vocals on the Sub Sub track Southern Trees.

Coast EP
Failing that. When I’m back in the UK, I will bring this back with me and share. I’m also on the look out for the Todd Terry Spaceface remixes and good bitrate versions of the Lost Souls demo tracks Analog Bass & Blues Tune. I have lower bitrate versions I’m willing to share, but I would much prefer to share better quality versions. Thanks!
Here is a Sub Sub EP I can share right now..
