Doves have announced their return.

The Manchester band - made up of Jimi Goodwin (lead vocals/bass) and twins Jez (guitar, vocals) and Andy Williams (drums vocals) - have shared a new single and news of their forthcoming album, Constellations For The Lonely, which is released on Friday 14th February 2025.

From the record comes Renegade, which marks the first new music from the band in over four years.

Doves - Renegade

The bands drummer, vocalist and co-songwriter, Andy Williams says: “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.”
