So here we are, twelve years since Doves formed in Manchester and released the Cedar Room EP on the Casino Records imprint, and ten years since their epochal debut, Lost Souls, was released on Astralwerks/Heavenly Recordings. In that time, we have been privy to a catalogue of genre-warping singles and a quartet of albums that have forced writers to go back to the thesaurus in search of new superlatives.
These are The Places Between, a multi-format collection that has cherry picked the best from UK number one albums The Last Broadcast and Some Cities, last year's critically acclaimed masterpiece Kingdom Of Rust, and their generation defining debut, Lost Souls.
