Doves Are Back! First New Music In Over Four Years

Northern indie stalwarts, Doves are back with their highly anticipated return following their chart-topping 2020 comeback, “The Universal Want”.

Their sixth studio album, “Constellations For The Lonely” will be released on 14th February 2025 via EMI North.

“Renegade”, the lead single, is out now, marking the Manchester band’s first new music in over four years.

Drummer, vocalist and co-songwriter, Andy Williams commented: “Looking at everyone’s lives over recent years, and considering the news at the moment, ‘Renegade’ feels a lot more loaded in retrospect.

“We wanted to go for a dystopian feel, thinking about Manchester itself over the next century or so. A totally imaginary thing… ‘Blade Runner’ set in our home city.”

The new record will be released on standard and special edition vinyl, CD, cassette and digital.

The confirmed track listing for Constellations For The Lonely is as follows:

1. Renegade
2. Cold Dreaming
3. In The Butterfly House
4. Strange Weather
5. A Drop In The Ocean
6. Last Year’s Man
7. Stupid Schemes
8. Saint Teresa
9. Orlando
10. Southern Bell
