I love this disk. Here's why:
1. It's really long. I'm tired of CD's only half full. With LOST SOULS, you get what you pay for. If you don't warm up quickly to one track, you will certainly find another you like among the 15 tunes here. The kind of disk you hear once and think, "I bet I'm going to like this a lot..." Then after 7 or 8 plays on the Car Stereo, you are in love.
2. I sense an underlying theme. Too many groups today toss together whatever they have been collecting for the past years. Perhaps that's true for DOVES, but if so, they hid it well.
3. The music is full-bodied, well produced. No Miller Lite here. At times, simple, but always rich. From a guitar and piano to the sounds of a full orchestra. You get it here.
4. Some songs: a. FIRESUITE sets the stage...tells you what's on the way. I thought I was hearing a Pink Floyd disk at first. 95% instrmental, Firesuite has some unintelligible lyrics in the backgound. Sort of "Enigma"-tic
b. HERE IT COMES starts out with some beautiful background piano, then moves toward a whining organ from any rock band of the 60's. Liner notes include a credit to Velvet Underground. Perhaps their influence was present here. But in the end this song reminded me more if "Morrisey" or "The Smiths."
c. BREAK ME GENTLY is both the title of song 3 and the a change of pace for the disk. More like "Radiohead" for me. I love this song.
d. SEA SONG is my favorite lick on the disk. A repetitive guitar melody overlaid by rich tonalization. I keep running back to this one.
e. Track 7, MELODY CALLS, sounds like a different band. But it's a great song. It reminds me most of the English group "James."
f. The catchiest tune, and the one with the most popular potential, is CATCH THE SUN. This is the song I heard first, that made me want the disk. You will love it. For me, it's mix between "Travis," "Crowded House," and "Level 42."
I highly recommend this new English band. A great value, a great disk.
Truly, this could be the start of something big for DOVES.
