DOVES Some Cities (2005 Taiwanese issue 11-track CD album recorded between Liverpool?s Parr Street Studios and Fort Augustus in Loch Ness including the superb single Black and White Town and the ballad Ambition [recorded inside a BenedictineMonastery!] picture sleeve + obi-strip)

- Product Description

Doves return with a follow-up to The Last Broadcast that, unexpectedly, is something of a concept album. Some Cities builds on that titular theme throughout the course of its wintry--and, at times, monolithic--citysongs. First single "Black and White Town" is in good company here: Doves' distinctive jangling and fractured chords also feature in "One Of These Days" and, most impressively, the hope-tinged northern dirge that is "Shadows Of Salford". But the most interesting cut here is "The Storm", which uses an old Ryuichi Sakamoto string sample to great effect, pitching Doves into compelling new territory that could well be explored in the future. Elsewhere Doves' trademark soaring, epic sound is retained intact from Lost Souls and The Last Broadcast. Doves repeat their peerless use of a thumping kick to propel songs such as "Black and White Town" and "Sky Starts Falling" to their blistered crescendos, all the while keeping a uniquely dynamic sound that is exclusively Doves.--Jonti Davies
