Dove, Belly's third studio album, arrived on May 4, 2018, a full 23 years after King and the breakup that followed it. Tanya Donelly brought the band back in 2016 with the same lineup that made King, Tom Gorman on guitar, Chris Gorman on drums and Gail Greenwood on bass, and after a reunion tour went well, they paid for the new record through crowdfunding.

It sounds like a band picking up the thread rather than trying to relive the early-'90s alternative boom that made them: Donelly's voice still floats and stings, the guitars shimmer more than they crunch, and the hooks take their time. Even the title keeps the old habit of four-letter album names. "Shiny One" is the song that made the countdowns.
