THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Doves return with their first new music in over four years, reclaiming territory all their own. Frontman Jimi Goodwin and twins Andy and Jez Williams’ winding path to a sixth album culminates with the 10-track Constellations For The Lonely.
Signing off the previous chapter of their story with the release of their third U.K. chart-topper, 2020’s boundary-pushing The Universal Want, the release of Constellations’ first single Renegade concluded a patchwork of writing and recording sessions that began in the same year. Reading from the same page on their new single’s sense of dystopian drama, the trio’s own sense of change, uncertainty and determination pervades the intricate, Goodwin-fronted collage of cinematic sound.
Settling on the collective desire for a new album as soon as they closed the door on The Universal Want, Renegade was the first to be written for Constellations Of The Lonely and the last to be written in their famed creative rural retreat, Frank Bough Sound III. Physically unanchored, waving off a totem of their shared past and facing personal mountains to climb, a new, intense, filmic, classic Doves album was carefully nurtured.”
