A bit Doves by numbers but they do it so well. Just chuffed they are back.

Listened to Carousels.

Think I’ve got them confused with Elbow all this time.

And the new Rebelski song is great too, BTW. For those into more minimal electronic sounds…

Now if the rest of the new Doves album was somehow a cross between Carousels and this…:star_struck:

Martin Rebelski was playing with them when I saw them last year, so you never know.

I guess not being a permanent member he doesn’t record with them though? not sure, I was actually pondering this earlier on funnily enough.

Yeah I love Carousels

The more I listen to Carousels, the more it kinda sounds like Radiohead’s Reckoner if it were produced by Dave Fridmann. The production is very cluttered and noisy. I really like the song, but I hope the whole album isn’t so oversaturated.

But it’s about nostalgia for a fairground, which is by its very nature a cluttered and noisy place, no?

New single Prisoners out this Friday. There’s a clip up on Facebook, Instagram etc…

Need to listen to the song a few more times before I give some genera thoughts. It definitely belies their age though. They sound as youthful and invigorated as their early stuff here.

The music video on the other hand… WOW! That’s an ace music video.

They are definitely delivering the goods.

Yeah, it’s reminiscent of Andalucia, but has way more urgency and I think is probably a better song on the first couple listens.
