DOVES | THE LAST BROADCAST
This album is robust and confident, energetic and sure-footed. It is infectious and melancholy all at once while creating a warm chill around its compositions. It feels at home in the fall where night starts to arrive early and there’s a slight feel of desolation with the upcoming winter ahead.
It slides into the the famous British sad-rock explosion of the early 00’s which saw bands like Coldplay, Travis, Elbow, and the like following in Radiohead’s footsteps. It has a worn-in characteristic courtesy of Jimi Goodwin’s weathered voice.
This cocktail evokes the warmth and rusticity of the album.
