Doves - Constellations For The Lonely
Overcoming adversity isn’t a new experience for Doves.
After a studio fire curtailed their first incarnation as Sub Sub, Mancunian trio Jimi Goodwin and brothers Jez and Andy Williams returned as the new millennium dawned, taking the electronic mindset into dusky indie anthemia to great success and acclaim.
After another three albums, the trio took a break before returning in bombastic form with 2020’s The Universal Want.
Unfortunately, after delaying the tour because of the pandemic, the campaign was definitively cancelled when Goodwin’s health and well-being concerns became apparent.
Yet beauty has come from sadness, with Constellations For The Lonely arguably their best album yet.
