Doves - Constellations For The Lonely (2025)

Doves' Constellations for the Lonely is a testament to the band's resilience, delivering a deeply emotive and sonically rich album. Despite frontman Jimi Goodwin's partial absence due to personal challenges, the Williams brothers step forward, infusing tracks like "Renegade" and "Cold Dreaming" with their vocals, adding a fresh dynamic to the band's sound. The album masterfully blends intricate prog-inspired productions with a somber tone, reflecting themes of isolation and introspection. While Goodwin's distinctive voice adds depth to songs like "Orlando," his limited presence is felt throughout. Nevertheless, the album's sophisticated production and poetic lyricism offer listeners a profound and introspective experience.​
