The Snowbombing Festival takes place annually in the Austrian alpine mountains and 2010's incarnation is already looking pretty huge. Amonst a host of previously confirmed DJ's (including Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip) the event has now confirmed Editors, Doves, Friendly Fires and The Enemy (grr) to their line-up, with more to be announced soon.

I just watched Doves' entire set from the proms and it was amazing. 10:03 and There Goes The Fear were my favorites, but this is the only one up on youtube so far. They performed with the London Bulgarian Choir.

I know four albums isn’t masses but we have [...]

The Doves – There Goes The Fear100 Videos of the Day. Wow. So, what would be a fitting “big 100″ then? Well, I’ve dug up an oldie, the one that started it all. Doves’ There Goes The Fear, after which I named this blog about 2 years ago. Yes, the quality isn’t fabulous, but watch [...]

In my experience, the most difficult show to review is the one embroiled in mediocrity. Luckily for me, Doves wasted no time creating a dense wall-to-wall melodic soundscape in the House of Blues: a perfect compliment to the massive scrim onto which clever Danny Boyle-like music videos danced for the duration of the concert. The best live acts let you know right from the get-go that you’re goi.

Dovesby Daniel N. Alvarez • April 10, 2009 DovesKingdom of Rust(Astralwerks/Heavenly, 2009)With an American music public afflicted with mass download-driven auditory ADD, it has never been harder for artists to naturally evolve while staying relevant. Over the last five years alone, there have been a litany of bands that exploded in America, but were quickly rendered culturally obsolete by eit.

It's been four solid years since Doves dropped their last album, Some Cities, on the world. One could argue that a four-year absence doesn't qualify their new record, Kingdom of Rust, as a comeback album, but for whatever reason, it FEELS like a comeback album. Fortunately, the trio of Jez Williams, Jimi Goodwin, and And Williams seem determined to make the most of this opportunity, returning i...

Sometimes, it just takes a good bicycle ride to remind you how epic a song can be.For my exercise routine, I try to mix up running with long rides on the bicycle. It keeps me a bit more motivated, not doing the same thing over and over. However, they each need different musical accompaniment, IMHO. When I run, I need to keep my spirits up, since it's harder, so I keep the 2GB Nano stuffed full ...

Hailing from Manchester, England, it's hard to believe these guys have been kickin around in one form or another, since 1985, though as the actual band Doves since 1998. This tune is from their latest release. I found this to be the more compelling of the albums 11 tracks though I'm sure others will beg to differ.

It has been four years since Doves last album 'Some Cities' and finally here we are: their return. Their 'Kingdom Of Rust'. Jetstream strikes to life with an electronic heartbeat and Jez Williams' dreamy-yet-dark vocals as the blood. It drones, kicks, spikes, dips and impresses throughout; not only is it a good start to the album but it also raises intrigue as to what else they’re willing to br.
