Doves

[Vlad n U 2]

Doves now have over 1k plays on my last.fm. I am so proud.

[Vlad n U 2]

They've come a long way.

 

[Saracene]

Doves LP5, 2018 you think?

That might be overly optimistic.

 

[BoMac]

Bad news.

We regret to announce that due to circumstances beyond our control we have been forced to cancel our forthcoming tour of Australia.

This is a decision we have not taken lightly and our sincere apologies go out to anyone who has bought tickets for the shows and for any inconvenience caused.

Refunds will be available from point of purchase.

Doves.

 

[u2popmofo]

That sucks, sorry Saracene.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

that truly sucks.

 

[powerhour24]

Circumstances beyond control better not mean any sort of sudden break-up or retirement .

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

don't say that!

Maybe they mean the flooding that's going on Down Under?

 

[powerhour24]

That would make sense.

 

[Saracene]

Bad news.

I leave internet for a day and look what happens Bummer bummer bummer.

I doubt it has anything to do with flooding, it would maybe affect Brisbane but not any other major city, certainly not Melbourne.

Finally heard Some Cities. Not too inspiring. There is something very otherworldly about the production, but the songs don't feel quite as intimate as those of Lost Souls, causing them to feel really fluffy and weightless instead. Black and White Town and Snowden might be my two favorite Doves songs though.

Ranking the albums:

1. Lost Souls (A)
2. The Last Broadcast (A-)
3. Kingdom of Rust (B)
4. Some Cities (B-)

I really hope they don't take another 4 years on the next one because, like U2, I think they sound better when they don't overthink the production. Seems like things are heading that way though. I haven't posted in this thread in a while, so I guess I should weigh in on the new best of: AWESOME, they really put a lot of love into the sequencing.

So while there doesn't appear to be a new album on the horizon, which is extremely frustrating, it looks like Jimi has a solo album coming out in March.

Totally off-topic: LOVE your userpic! Even though Locke probably irritated me more often than I actually liked him, I still have a huge, soft spot for all things "Lost".

Also, new Doves would've been awesome, but hopefully the solo work will be stellar.

it has been a few years since I posted in here. Here is Jimi's new song/video: Exclusive Jimi Goodwin Video - Music - ShortList Magazine

[powerhour24]

Damn it! I knew it was only going to be Jimi Goodwin related, but I still let myself get faintly excited at the possibility of the reemergence of Doves.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Sorry!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Song's okay, probably what I would've imagined from a Jimi Goodwin solo venture.

 

[u2popmofo]

Sorry!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I thought the title of the song was Ole Whiskey and I got all excited for a moment...

Also, unless there is acutall new Doves album news quit bumping this thread people.

 

[powerhour24]

I hope Jimi Goodwin will at least continue touring with Elbow if they tour the US later this year though.

He should be pissed at himself for managing to misspell "actual".

Also, hi dork.

How sad I am to still not be wrong about this.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

that is pretty sad. Damn you Doves!

 

[djerdap]

They have cancelled their Australian tour three years ago when I was supposed to attend for unknown reasons. Doesn't look good sorry to say.

 

[powerhour24]

Yeah we give U2 flack for being so slow, at least they've been working on material. Kingdom of Rust came out a month after No Line on the Horizon, and they've done nothing since. Such a shame.
