Lost Souls by Doves
Lost Souls is an album by Doves, released in 2000. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 18 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Catch the Sun”, on 17 lists with a best position of #63.
Lost Souls, the debut album from Doves, arrived on Heavenly on 3 April 2000, and it was a long time coming. Jimi Goodwin and twin brothers Jez and Andy Williams had been the house act Sub Sub, and after that outfit fell apart they spent several years piecing this record together, with Steve Osborne producing. Goodwin sings and plays bass, Jez plays guitar and Andy drums.
It sounds like the morning after a very long night: big, brooding, slow-building songs where the gloom keeps cracking open into euphoria, and the electronic textures of their dance days hum away beneath the guitars. "Catch the Sun" is the rush of daylight in the middle of it all. Critics raved, it made the Mercury Prize shortlist, and it set the stage for The Last Broadcast.
