Interview - Doves

For a quarter of a century, Doves have been masterfully balancing euphoria and darkness, weaving rich soundscapes across five well-received albums. Now they’re back but – as has been well reported – in altered form. Lead singer Jimi Goodwin will not be accompanying brothers Jez and Andy Williams on the forthcoming tour in support of sixth album Constellations for the Lonely, just as he was unable to engage in the campaign for previous album The Universal Want in 2021. 

“It was a massive blow, the tour,” Andy explains to CLASH. “We had two tours which we really looking forward to doing, our first tours in – then – ten years. It’s fifteen years now! It getting cancelled, firstly due to COVID, then second time Jimi not being well enough, was a real blow for both of us. We were desperate to play live. The future was so uncertain.”
