Doves - Some CitiesDoves has done something that I wouldn't have expected them to do. They have recorded my favorite album of 2005 (so far):
Some Cities. It gets better and better with each listen. I couldn't have sequenced the album any better than they already have (a big problem I have with albums today). The first single off of
Some Cities,
Black and White Town (
lyrics), is a perfect way to get acquainted with the album. It's very bip-boppy, like many of their other songs. It's also a great precursor to the rest of the album, which necessarily isn't a departure from their old sound, but it definitely has evolved and developed into something I really, really like. It just seems more focused. If you go over to
Matt's blog, you can download the entire thing. I have the single here for your downloading pleasure, if you YSI links died.
