“Firesuite” by Doves

"Firesuite" comes from Lost Souls, the debut album Doves put out on Heavenly Recordings in April 2000, a record that took several years to piece together after the band shed its first skin as the house act Sub Sub. Jimi Goodwin, Andy Williams and Jez Williams share the writing credit, Doves produced it themselves, and Richard Wheatley plays Rhodes piano on it.

That places it on an album the critics roundly praised for the way it crammed claustrophobic intensity and euphoria into the same after-hours room, with electronic textures seeping in at the edges; Lost Souls went on to make the Mercury Prize shortlist in 2000.
