Album Review

Hailing from the scene that brought the defining sounds of the Smiths, the Stone Roses, Oasis, James, and the Charlatans UK, Doves is another Brit-pop band playing around with depressing lyrical imagery and embryonic soundscapes that made the Mancunian circuit so popular throughout the '80s and '90s. Gloriously basking in the ethereal ones before them, their debut Lost Souls is a shoegazing twist of emotional bliss. Music hasn't sounded so heavenly since Radiohead and The Verve.

The dozen-track look into streaming psychedelia taps into melodic waves of love lorn and sadness, especially on songs like "Rise" and "Lost Souls." The mood rouses and the positive clamor of "The Cedar Room" becomes the album's brassy anthem, very Oasis-like. Frontman/bassist Jimi Goodwin drools like a swooning Damon Albarn during "Here It Comes" and whooshing guitar licks from Jez Williams recall the sounds of Noel Gallagher. NME boldly claims it as the best debut album since Definitely Maybe. They're onto something good. If only Liam and Noel could calm down a bit and find that mesmerizing nature once again. [In October 2000, Lost Souls was issued in America on Astralwerks with three added bonus tracks not included on the original version].

This must be a joke.
One of the best albums ever made, and not a single review.
Taste people, taste.

Moody as 'ell

The review at the top gets it wrong. Influenced by their brilliant Mancunian forebears, but taking those influences in an entirely different direction. The first 3 tracks are straight up fuzzed out jazz/blues tracks seen through an Northern English lens.

The Doves are loved 'cos they know where they come from but they defy convention and make you work to understand and like them.

Darker is a post-punk gem of a fookin' track.

Please Doves, please challenge us. We know brilliance and will embrace it.

Catch the Sun - Feel the bliss

One of my favorite albums. The Doves will take you on an emotional journey of fuzzed out atmospheres, melancholy lyrics and excellent songwriting. If you like Radiohead, Elbow, or the Verve, this will wash over you and take you away. Catch the Sun before it is gone! Highlights for me are Catch the Sun, Here it Comes, and Zither. Culture Geek.

Before embracing Brit-pop in the late '90s, Doves' three members — vocalist/bassist Jimi Goodwin, guitarist Jez Williams, and drummer Andy Williams — figured prominently in the Madchester scene, where they scored a Top Five single as part of the dance combo Sub Sub. "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)" peaked at number three in the U.K., but Sub Sub failed to produce any significant follow-up hits, and a fire destroyed their recording studio in February 1995.
