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.”
Constellations For The Lonely follows 2000's Lost Souls, The Last Broadcast (2002), Some Cities (2005), Kingdom of Rust (2009) and The Universal Want (2020).
The album was written, recorded and produced by Doves between locations in Greater Manchester, North Wales and Cheshire with additional production from long-term collaborator, Dan Austin.
Released on multiple formats, including standard and special edition vinyl, CD, cassette and digital, the record is set for release on 14th February 2025.
