Doves

Doves return with their sixth studio album, Constellations For The Lonely, 25 years after their Mercury Award-nominated debut. Following 2020’s The Universal Want, the band quietly continued working, despite stepping away from public view in late 2021 due to frontman Jimi Goodwin’s well-publicized health concerns. Instead of an ending, it became a transition, as they embraced remote recording while maintaining their signature collaborative approach. Inspired by dystopian imagery and personal struggles, the album blends intricate guitar work, cinematic influences, and soul-infused experimentation. Tracks like Cold Dreaming and Last Year’s Man explore resilience, forgiveness, and fatherhood, while Stupid Schemes adds a playful, soulful twist. Despite challenges, Doves’ chemistry remains, proving they are still reaching new artistic heights.
