Catching many off-guard, Doves unleashed a track of unfathomable depth, unfurling rich and unpredictable pockets of sound, twisted round a sample of the great Tony Allen at his very best.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This place is wild at heart and weird on top, you just couldn’t make it up,” said Jimi Goodwin, surveying the world through his window while a global pandemic was taking root in late-March 2020. Paraphrasing Laura Dern’s character, Lula Pace Fortune in the 1990, David Lynch film Wild At Heart, Goodwin hits on the Lynchian-obsessions shared by all three Doves. Himself, Andy (drums\/vocals) and Jez Williams (guitars\/programming\/vocals) would often find themselves hosting impromptu post-rave, home screenings in the early 1990s.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy quoting the film, the lead singer and bassist of the twice Mercury-nominated band also, accidentally, expresses what everyone else was feeling at the time of disorientation, fear and hope. Doves have a longstanding habit of doing just that.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst emerging in 1998 with the release of their debut, vinyl-only Cedar EP, Doves’ first album, Lost Souls (2000), received both press and award-panel praise, before Number One follow-up, The Last Broadcast (2002) provided the trio with a major breakthrough, offering with the hit singles, There Goes The Fear and Pounding. Straight-to-Number One follow up, Some Cities (2005) and the difficult birth of the much-loved Kingdom of Rust (2009) appeared to complete a perfect legacy if the hiatus the band called in 2010 lasted longer than anyone hoped. It certainly lasted longer than the band had expected. “It’s bizarre how quickly life just passes,” says Goodwin, reflecting on the years that turned into a decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story of The Universal Want, the title itself and other tracks such as Prisoners giving an impression of the band’s disdain towards the consumerist illusion, starts in a rented house in England’s Peak District during secret, unintended writing sessions in 2017. Joining the dots, band historians note that it came a full year before announcing their live return and 18 months before they appeared together publicly. That they were a creative force once more was a near impossible secret to keep, as they worked between studios in the North West and the Midlands.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndy Williams describes the excitement of the sessions, saying: “There were times when we felt an indescribable buzz. It was a breeze compared to ‘Kingdom Of Rust’, with one of the nicest things being just hanging out. We were never that far apart; I’d call Jimi every month. We’re too closely tied to have lost contact; I’d miss them.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRefusing once more to fall into predictable, guitar-bass-drums, ‘plug in and play’ dynamics, The Universal Want’s overwhelming sense of intrigue owes everything to Doves’ three decades experience at the wheel of their band (a lifespan going back to their time as dance band, Sub Sub), and an autobiographical trip through the sounds of their own lives. From seaside amusements (Carousels) and the remembered heat of acid house (Universal Want) to the aimless summer days of youth (Forest House), each song sets a new reel running to show fragments of their lives and, in turn, those of their listeners. Shadows of Bowie, rare 70’s soul, Detroit House and Afrobeat are cast subtly across the shapeshifting album.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCycle Of Hurt’s, disembodied mantra of ‘it’s a trap’, finds the band once more concerned with finding freedom in a cynical, aspirational age. A band that respects creativity itself, allowing the process to meander, it wasn’t, and isn’t their intention to write a manifesto rallying against vapid consumer culture. “When it comes to themes,” says Jez “we always find a very collaborative way forward. It’s all quite subconscious. It’s only when you look back that you can see the threads linking the songs.”\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRewarding fans for ten years’ worth of patience, and welcoming new fans into the fold in style, Doves release The Universal Want in multiple, special edition formats including a sought-after box set, comprising the album on vinyl and cassette, a limited-edition Remix LP, postcards and signed prints. Limited edition, coloured vinyl editions make their way to fans via the band’s mailing lists and an Indie Stores exclusive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Universal Want was self-produced by Doves, with Dan Austin contributing to seven tracks, while Martin Rebelski backs the band on keys, pianos and synths for a fifth time.

Jimi Goodwin, Andy and Jez Williams’ winding path to a sixth album reaches that milestone next year, as the 10-Track Constellations For The Lonely is confirmed for release on Fri 14 February 2025 after joining EMI North.\u003cbr\u003eSigning off their last chapter with the release of their third UK chart-peaking album, 2020’s boundary-pushing, The Universal Want, the release of Renegade concludes a patchwork of writing and recording sessions that began in the same year. Reading from the same page on their new single’s sense of dystopian drama, all three Doves own sense of change, uncertainty and determination pervades the intricate, Goodwin-fronted collage of cinematic sound.\u003cbr\u003eSettling on the collective desire for a new album as soon as they closed the door on The Universal Want’s No.1 success, Renegade was the first to be written for Constellations Of The Lonely and the last to be written in their famed creative rural retreat, Frank Bough Sound III. Physically unanchored, waving off a totem of their shared past and facing personal mountains to climb, a new, intense, filmic, classic Doves album was carefully nurtured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e1.
