Our Take

Album review: DOVES - The Universal Want

Oh, lo and behold, the boys from DOVES are back with their latest offering, "The Universal Want." And let me tell you, this album is like a warm cup of tea on a rainy Manchester day - comforting, familiar, and oh so British.

From the moment you press play, you're greeted with those signature DOVES melodies that you just can't help but sway along to. It's like being wrapped in a fuzzy blanket of indie rock goodness, with Jimi Goodwin's velvety vocals leading the way.

Tracks like "Carousels" and "Broken Eyes" showcase the band's knack for crafting anthemic choruses that will have you belting out the lyrics in your finest Mancunian accent. And let's not forget the dreamy synth work on "Cycle of Hurt" that transports you to a hazy, nostalgic daydream.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. The band delves into darker territory with songs like "Mother Silver Lake" and "Cathedrals of the Mind," exploring themes of loss and introspection with a raw vulnerability that hits you right in the gut.

Overall, "The Universal Want" is a triumphant return for DOVES, proving that they're still at the top of their game after all these years. So put on your parka, grab a pint, and let the music carry you away on a wave of pure British brilliance. Cheers, lads.
