Where we're recording from...
News
Just to let you all know we've started work on the new album. We've found a great place to record on a farm down the M56 outside Manchester. We've been in there for a couple of weeks now mainly setting gear up & ironing out our usual technical problems! We've also bought some great vintage studio gear we've always fancied (I won't bore you with the details). The idea is to record everything here & maybe mix elsewhere & produce the record ourselves, but knowing us lot, that could all change if we get sick of the smell of cow s*** on the farm!
It's very early days so don't expect anything too soon, but there's loads of ideas kicking around & we're all well excited about where we're going to go on this one.
Keep your eyes out on the site, as we'll be posting on there from time to time to let you know how i'ts going and lastly, sorry but we won't be doing any festivals or gigs this year as we want to concentrate on the record (but we will be attempting the occasional DJ slot!). Much thanks to all of you as ever for sticking with us.

That is brilliant news! Good luck with the recording and the cow shite.
Its always great hearing that a band you love are working on a new album, but when its Doves - well. Its even better :)
I know it'll be a while, but can't wait for the first single....

Brilliant news.....looking forward to hearing the tunes live in Melbourne next year.
chuck out the karma police lads...and make the music
for the soul...yours as well as ours.

Hey, big fan. Saw you in Dallas a couple times. Last time gave you my book of poems. This year got my car broken into and all your CD's stolen :( SHit happens, but then again so do good things like your new album in the werkz. Thanks for makin that funky music.
A vintage studio with cows around sounds bucolic!
See you soon!
Respect, Rob.
Really liking the cheeky little exclusive on your site. Shame you're not doing any festivals etc as its always good seeing you live.... looking forward to hearing the noo-ooo stuff tho... happy studio-ing!
Oh just put some mooing on the album. You know you want to.
Can't wait to hear the new material, and seeing you play again in London. Good luck guys!!!!! ;)
Ah, at last you left news!!!
I was missing you all...
My birthday's gift was "Some Cities" (I wrote it long ago, do you remember?), and I listen it every day. I'd like to say that this album is...I don't have words to say how this album is marvelous!!!
Changing the subject...
I'd like that you listen to a brazilian band called GRAM. Some songs that are very nice: "Você pode ir na janela", "Faça alguma coisa" and "Toda Luz" .Try to answer me if you liked it or not, ok?
And I STILL wait for your coming here in Brazil...Please...
THOUSAND KISSES from Nicole...(Nick or Nica) :)
Absolutely brilliant news!
Don't light up anywhere near a cows arse - they produce alot of methane you know!
I think I'm gonna start lookin for farms off the M56 I live in ellesmere port the other end!!!
Lookin forward to some new stuff!
Excited to hear the next CD from you but sorry that I'll have to wait another year to see you live in sunny LA!
May the Muses find you.... "[The Muses] are all of one mind, their hearts are set upon song and their spirit is free from care. He is happy whom the Muses love. For though a man has sorrow and grief in his soul, yet when the servant of the Muses sings, at once he forgets his dark thoughts and remembers not his troubles. Such is the holy gift of the Muses to men."
~Hesiod~
Best to you all,
Lagirl

Awesome, awesome news. I'm thoroughly thrilled. Oddly enough, i just came on the site for the first time in ages looking for information on any potential albums, and here is a very promising entry just one day prior to my visit.
All the best, including best of health, best of life and for a limited time only, best of luck, not that you'll need it, but the thought is there anyway :p
Very excited to hear that you all are working on new material! Love the music, keep up the great work and come back and see us in Houston, Tx! Have fun on the farm!
Fantastic news to hear that you guys are down on the farm getting creative, saw you twice last year in Newcastle and as ever you were on the ball from minute one. When you played the Academy I took the girlfriend as she has wanted to see you for ages, you wouldnt believe the brownie points I earned for that one!!!
Keep up the good work lads and remember, Fear Profits No Man
Excellent news guys,as long as you are making new and innovative music like your last three albums i`ll be supporting you all the way,your music has seen me through some good and some bad times.
I recall you saying something on the site about a full on double album rock extravaganza!!,or something!!.
I`m sure it will be amazing!
peace jimmy k
Are you coming to Perth Australia? Or have you ever been to OZ???
Hey, was wondering where you lot had got to.
Shame you wont be at any festivals, we're off to Staffs V this year. As a girl from Kent, I must say the north is better. So we wont be at any aftershows getting completly sloshed for a while then?
Will look forward to hearing the new stuff, the vintage gear sounds interesting...
Love, Peace & Happiness, Alice xxx

soys los putos amos :D
Hey guys!!!!
that's great to hear that you guys are recording again!!!! can't wait to hear the new stuff.
Cheers :o)
I found your blog to be verry informative, thanks for the relative content.
Alright another album coming! Good luck to you guys. It's always been a pleasure to hear your music. ROCK!
You have a nice site keep up the good work.
This is the best news i've heard since Some Cities was released!! I came to see you in Liverpool and the Isle of Man (the "Manx") last year and you were fantastic! Hurry up with the new album guys! Can't wait to get that excited feeling when your just about to listen to a new Doves album again! I'm getting excited already!!!
Best wishes,
Steve
You lovely laddies! Admirable work ethic, I just worry that in the superspeed consumption of current music that the "shelf-life" of any bands back catalogue suffers, especially the high quality of yours. I'm of the opinion that great music, like great films, books, art etc improve with repeated listenings/viewings/readings - and I have no doubt that Doves music (all of it!) will be a part of many peoples lives for the rest of their lives, I just don't want to see you knackered out by "market demands", even if we're all pleased to hear more.
To sum up: I don't want your Skilled Soulful Passionate Music gobbled up and shat out too quickly
by an increasingly soulless wider audience to the cost of the bands physical & mental health. Mabye I'm just getting older. Lottalove to you all.xxx.
Working on the new album? This is the greatest day of my summer thus far. Tons of luck with the farm.
Sorry our chat on your tour bus was so brief when you played the Riv
here in Chicago (I had to catch a flight to L.A.), were you able to deliver
my message to Mel & Eric? Have both email me next time you speak
with them (greatly appreciated :).
Best of luck to you all & thanks in advance for following through with
this.

Hi guys!
This is muy first visit here since the last broadcast days. I have to say this is a really warm place, fill with great comments and feelings.
I can't wait to here more music from DOVES. I've been a follower since Lost Souls and in so many ways that record returned to me the faith in music. I can't recall a day in my life without hearing at least one Doves song since these days. You have SOUL, even if it's lost, and I hope you never change that!!!
All of your records are simply amazing! I'm hearing right now a CD from some guys called "Four Days Hombre" and they brought to me lots of memories from you and Elbow. It's a very enjoyable CD, hope you like it.
Lots of love from mauricio, somewhere in caracas, venezuela.
YAY IM SO EXCITED
Doves are one of the few bands worth waiting for. I feel bumbed that your not plating live but Id rather have a shiney new album instead!!! Yay!
Good luck with the album - some of these comments are well funny.

Does this mean we are going to have a track called M56? Can't wait to hear it, and see you guys out here again. Nic. In New York.
Good to know your down the road as it were and recording, you guy's have certainly been doing a lot of touring, hope it went well for you all :) so recharge those Manc's batteries, we all look forward to some more excelent tracks.
Doves! Good luck with the new album. I hope you guys can come back down to sweaty ass Texas next tour! Have fun making the next great piece of Doves goodness!!
Cheers,
Brandon
Can't wait for the next round!!! Growing up on a farm in the great state of Nebraska in the US, putting up with the smell of cow ding dongs was the least of our worries. We always worried about who wasn't gonna make it over the fence when we went cow tipping at midnight. There was always someone who would slip in the hooptie and fall....thus allowing the cow to catch up and boot him up and over the fence. Giddy up!!!!
thank you for the fantastic news :^)
just, thank you... youve made my day.
have you had a good home cooked meal lately?
Nice 1 Cant wait!!!!
Neway, what happened to the rumor on the front page of the highland news that you were playing a thank you gig in fort Augustus? cos there were quite a few people up here in Inverness gutted we didnt hear anything else about it!!!!!
Hello from New Zealand, hope all goes well on the farm looking forward to a new album still listening to Some Cities lots its beautiful thanks for the music.

What rocks? you guys workin on a new album!!!! weyhey !!! big big fan ere, any chance you cud let me know when an where your dj,ing please?

Really really looking forward to the new album chaps and looking forward even more to you gigging down south .. hopefully Brighton !!
ALRIGHT GUYS, seen yooz at the Glasgow barrowlands in december.AWSOME without a doubt.I'd not been to a gig for ages and most of the bands I had seen there in the past had been ,well, metal bands so I didn't know what to expect.I cant thank you guys enuf for a fine night.Try n get to T in the park next year.If so, I think you guys would be better playing in one of the tents rather than the big stages as the darker mood would be better.but thats just my opinion.I'd watch you anywhere,however if the kaizer cheifs were playing in my garden I would shut the curtains and turn up the T.V!!
