TraceOddity Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 They're still quite active on facebook, and they still claim Doves as one of their acts, but I think they're a subsidiary of Capitol/EMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
::Hayley:: Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Athlete only managed to keep my attention for a month or something' date=' while Doves will last for a long time.[/quote'] Same here.

Black Rose Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 They're still quite active on facebook, and they still claim Doves as one of their acts, but I think they're a subsidiary of Capitol/EMI. They are an independent label which use EMI for Distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Have anybody else listened to Doves before they were known as Doves, but instead Sub Sub? Hardest material to get a hold off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 No, but I've seen a few CDs from the SubSub era on eBay, but keep forgetting to bid on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 They only released 5 singles didn't they? I have "ain't no love (ain't no use)", but that one is ten a penny on amazon, the other 4 are either unavailable or are £30+ :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comster Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The New Doves album Alright folks, Went to EMI to hear some new stuff the other day... Empire of the Sun, Hockey and Jamie T. Most excitingly though, they played us two new Doves tracks. The New single is called Kingdom Of Rust and it's utterly brilliant and it kind of sounded like Johnny Cash meets Sigur Ros:o... Sounds like the break has done them good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comster Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Doves - Kingdom Of Rust Just been sent this... The new track is awsome. FREE EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD ‘JETSTREAM’ AVAILABLE FROM http://www.doves.net FOR 2 WEEKS. Doves release their eagerly anticipated 4th studio album, Kingdom of Rust 6th April 2009, which is to be preceded by the single Kingdom Of Rust on 30th March, both on Heavenly Recordings. It's been a long time between drinks for Doves, four years in fact since their last broadcast ‘Some Cities’ flew to the top of the charts. Some feared they had flown the nest permanently. Thankfully, that was never going to be the case, and now they’re back to attest all the fans, writers, DJs and pundits that have been restlessly awaiting new material since February 2005. That Album is ‘Kingdom of Rust’ -- an album that is the Doves most sonically adventurous, intimate, cerebral, propulsive and most eclectic record to date. Indeed, the blogasphere has been buzzing of late with speculation and anticipation of the Mancunion trio’s return, this conjecture reached fever pitch last week when, during their first interview with the NME (in which Kingdom Of Rust was declared as 1 of the 10 most important Albums of 2009), they announced that they have been recording their follow up for the past 18 months, having ensconced themselves to a farm house–come-studio in backwaters of Cheshire. In doing so they teamed up with long time Doves collaborator Dan Austin to co produce all but 2 tracks of Kingdom Of Rust. For the remaining 2 tracks Doves worked with ace producer John Leckie (Stone Roses, Radiohead) to record 10.03 and Winter Hill. Furthermore, to herald this announcement, not to mention the return of one of the UK’s most loved bands, Doves are giving away an exclusive track from Kingdom of Rust available to download now from http://www.doves.net for a two week period. That track is ‘Jetstream’, a stomping Doves classic in waiting. Fitted with a propulsive krautrock motorik, it inherits the bands dance DNA from their former Sub Sub extraction. It is with a searing intensity and the kind of brooding melancholic refrain that has become the Doves trademark that Jetstream blazes the trail for a new a new direction while simultaneously bearing all the hallmarks of an all time Doves classic. The album ‘Kingdom Of Rust’ is released 6th April 2009 preceded by the single ‘Kingdom Of Rust’ on 30th March. TRACKLISTING – KINGDOM OF RUST 1. Jetstream 2. Kingdom of Rust 3. The Outsiders 4. Winter Hill 5. 10.03 6. The Greatest Denier 7. Birds Flew Backwards 8. Spellbound 9. Compulsion 10. House Of Mirrors 11.
