Doves is an alternative rock band hailing from Manchester, England. Formed in 1998, the band consists of twin brothers Jez Williams on guitar and vocals, Andy Williams on drums and vocals, and Jimi Goodwin on bass, vocals, and guitar. After a hiatus from 2010 to 2018, during which Jimi Goodwin released a solo album and the Williams brothers formed Black Rivers, Doves regrouped to continue creating their unique sound.
With their distinctive blend of rock influences and melodic hooks, Doves have captivated audiences worldwide. Their music resonates with fans who appreciate their heartfelt lyrics and powerful performances. The band's years of experience shine through in every song they create.
During their hiatus period, each member explored individual projects that showcased their immense talent. However, it was inevitable that these three talented musicians would come back together to once again create magic as Doves. Fans eagerly await new releases from this iconic British band.

Lost Souls is the debut album by Doves and was first released in April 2000 with traceable links to the band’s former identity as dance hit makers Sub Sub. Their self-enforced, creative isolation in shady, post-industrial Ancoats, Manchester and the decisive 1996 studio fire that set the coordinates for the trio’s reinvention as Doves. Freed of the past by unfortunate circumstance, it was chance to make the album they’d always hoped to make. Only three of the album’s twelve tracks come in under four minutes, with the long form opulence of singles, The Cedar Room and Sea Song captivating listeners with their cinematic drama, swelling with climbing instrumentation with every passing second and captivating the listener to the very last note.

Self-produced, save for Steve Osborne taking up desk duties for Top 40 single, Catch The Sun – said by the band to be the hardest to pin down on tape - Lost Souls’ grace, sense of humanity and gratifying complexity gained the band their first Mercury Award nomination and climbed to number 16 in the UK album charts.
