Review

Rolling Stone (12/26/02, p.104) - Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2002"
Rolling Stone (6/20/02, p.83) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...They make tremendously consoling music, in an autumnal sort of way. LAST BROADCAST is nearly as comforting as the return of cool weather after the summer..."
Q (12/02, p.65) - Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 2002"
Q (May 2002, p.109) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...Echoing, acoustic folk-pop....melodic yet substantial, uplifting, and acceptable to football fan and student alike..."
Uncut (1/03, p.95) - Ranked #27 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year" - "...Sonically confident and considered..."
Alternative Press (8/02, p.75) - 9 out of 10 - "...The second album from Doves, energizes the droning psychedelic landscapes found on their debut, LOST SOULS. Exhibiting far more stylistic cohesion, [it] boasts shimmering pop that meshes well with its harmony-drenched synth-and-guitar sprawl....This is a dazzling and haunting disc; one hopes this album is a misnomer."
Magnet (6-7/02, p.86) - "...Damn good...'
CMJ (5/13/02, p.5) - "...Not only does the ambient rock channel luminaries like the Stone Roses and the Charlatans, it also innovates...on its own terms....the group's epic, fuzzy rock smacks of having been created by a former dance act..."
Vibe (8/02, p.165) - 3 1/2 out of 5 - "...Fueled by rigorous guitars, rugged bass lines, precise percussion, and soulful loops....THE LAST BROADCAST shows the Doves in full flight..."
Mojo (Publisher) (5/02, p.108) - "...Visceral, pulsing, uplifting, widescreen but with none of the bluster that would tip its forbears into self-parody. Songs burst with ideas..."
NME (Magazine) (4/27/02, p.28) - 9 out of 10 - "...The most uplifting miserable album you'll hear..."

Title Note

Initial copies of THE LAST BROADCAST include a limited edition bonus disc of 4 previously unreleased songs.

Doves: Jez Williams, Jimi Goodwin, Andy Williams.

Recorded in England between January 2001 and January 2002.

England's Doves began as teenage purveyors of feel-good dance music in the early '90s as Sub Sub, and even scored a minor hit. After a studio fire cost them their equipment along with demos of their second release, the members of Sub Sub forged ahead, transform their sound and renaming themselves. With 200's LOST SOULS, Doves blew up in England and garnered a cult following in the states, signaling a mess of anticipation for 2002's THE LAST BROADCAST.

LAST BROADCAST clearly owes heaps to early-'90s shoegazing bands like Ride and Lush, nowhere more so than on the dizzying, spiraling "Words." At other times THE LAST BROADCAST recalls the Manchester (not coincidentally Doves' hometown) sound of the same era, particularly hearkening back to Inspiral Carpets (see "There Goes The Fear"). However, to truly describe Doves one would have to invoke everyone from the Kinks to James, as the threesome pick from all over the British musical map to conjure up a delectable sound, wholly its own. On THE LAST BROADCAST, Doves uphold the hope aroused by their thrilling debut.
