Doves Some Cities (180g Vinyl 2LP)

Following their emotional return after a decade's hiatus, Manchester trio Doves present vinyl reissues of their first three albums, Lost Souls, The Last Broadcast and Some Cities. From their Mercury Award-nominated debut Lost Souls, to their chart-scaling The Last Broadcast and the deeply affecting Some Cities, all three albums will be available as two-disc vinyl packages with the original artwork and sleeve notes.

Emerging out of the post Britpop era, Doves were part of a great sea change in British rock towards a more guitar-centric sound. In just five years' time, this trio of releases delivered some of greatest singles of the new millennium including, "Catch The Sun," "There Goes The Fear," "Pounding" and "Black and White Town." But for every pulsating single, there was a sweeping, melancholic soundscape that encompassed this album-driven band.

It took almost three years for their third album, Some Cities, to take shape but it was worth the wait, becoming their second album to hit No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. It cemented the band's status as one of the most versatile acts in indie rock and part of the great lineage of Manchester bands. Built on the collective strengths and musical leanings of Jimi Goodwin, Andy and Jez Williams, Some Cities is arguably their most rewarding album to date.
