Reunited U.K. trio Doves will end their decade-long wait between albums next month with the release of The Universal Want. Following the band’s comeback singles “Carousels” and “Prisoners,” Rolling Stone is exclusively premiering the third preview at their upcoming LP, “Cathedrals of the Mind.”
“We were interested in using the lyrical metaphor as a kind of vast expanse of the mind, in which thoughts and memories get trapped or locked into being forever,” Doves’ Jez Williams tells Rolling Stone. “Somewhere in the maze, there is a way out,...

U.K. rock trio Doves will return from their decade-long hiatus on September 11th with a new album titled The Universal Want, the band’s first LP since 2009’s Kingdoms of Rust.
Doves’ Jimi Goodwin and brothers Andy and Jez Williams shared “Prisoners” from their upcoming album on Thursday. “It’s about continually chasing something and not being satisfied when you eventually get it. You’ve got ‘that thing’ and you find you’re not any happier. Be careful what you wish for,” Andy Williams said of “Prisoners” in a statement.

Doves are preparing for their last show before going on hiatus. The "Black and White Town" band will be playing a final homecoming show at Manchester's Warehouse Project on October 16, after which they have no plans to work on a new album or tour.
"The Warehouse Project is our last gig for, I don't know," guitarist Jez Williams said. "It could be a long time. We've have no plans to do another album. All I know is this is our last gig."
Doves, which also includes Jez's brother Andy Williams and Jimi Goodwin, have enjoyed a hugely successful career with their 2009 album, "Kingdom of Rust" being critically well acclaimed, and accompanied by a successful tour before they released a "Best Of" earlier this year.
The group have previously denied, however, they are splitting for good, and refuted claims earlier this year that they would fully disband after touring. Andy wrote...

Angry Doves star Jimi Goodwin threatened to beat up crowd members who upset him during the band's last gig "for quite sometime" at Britain's V Festival on Sunday, August 22. Earlier this year, the British rockers announced they would be taking a two-year hiatus after growing tired of their repetitive schedule and guitarist Jez Williams told fans the band's set at the Essex, England festival, "This is our last festival for quite some time... It's been interesting."
But the set was marred after bassist Goodwin became increasingly upset with one section of the crowd, telling them, "Real classy s**t, yeah? You think you're s**tting me?"
"I'm going to have to come out there and kick the s**t out of you, and I mean it." It was unclear what had riled the musician.

It seems Doves have gotten burned out. The UK trio is currently touring, but they’ve announced plans to take a two-year break from recording. “It’s nice just to have a bit of breathing space,” frontman Jimi Goodwin says. “We just wanted to get off that whole album-tour-album-tour treadmill.” He also said that the band’s “vaults” have been emptied, and that any material from now on will be brand new....

The Zombieland soundtrack. Considering that the movie revolves around a neatly-ordered roster of rules (Jesse Eisenberg’s cowardly Columbus comprehensively laying down the law on how to avoid being gobbled by the undead), it seems appropriate that the soundtrack of Zombieland should exhibit similarly taxonomic tendencies. Because the range of songs here each fall into one of several sub-categories, with these mini-groupings then in turn all uniting under a single banner – that of the Flag of Fromage. So we get examples of barroom rock cheese, lonely hearts cheese, Americana cheese, and pop culture cheese, as well as a few bits of random classical and college rock being tossed into the great zombie fondue as well.
It is a musical collection which seems attuned to the spawning movie’s two central characters, with the robust, no-nonsense sensibility of Woody Harrelson’s Tallahassee and the simpering timidity of Columbus both seeping through from specific cuts.

Doves singer and bassist Jimi Goodwin has revealed that the band are looking to pen a film score. In an interview with Gigwise, Goodwin said that the idea is one of the options that the Manchester group are considering as the follow-up to 2009's Kingdom Of Rust. "We need to shake things up by doing something... I don't know what it'll be," he said. "Scoring a film. We're always saying that and no-one seems to pick up on it, but we'd f**king love to score a film." Asked about their reasons for wanting to write a soundtrack, Goodwin replied: "We just always have. Hopefully you can (more)...

Like a rock
At this year’s Grammys, Chris Martin joked that Coldplay wasn’t the hardest rock band in the world; they were more like limestone. But most Coldplay haters wouldn’t point to the softness of the band’s sound: Martin and Co. excel at soaring melodies; it’s just that they never return to earth. There’s little dissonance to challenge or balance them. Therein lies the strength of Doves: The Manchester group’s anthemic choruses don’t quite reach the heights of Coldplay’s best, but the noisy guitars and clashing industrial beats that launch them skyward make the band even more satisfying. On Doves’ fourth LP, Kingdom of Rust, the music is more granite than limestone, continuing 2005 album Some Cities’ move toward cacophonous beauty. A busy array of guitars, keys and effects all vie for attention, making those moments when Jimi Goodwin’s vocals leave...
