Dave Cameron reviews Last Broadcast.
This album is a beauty. Impossibly catchy, uplifting pop/ rock - big choruses - swooning instrumental arrangements. On Last Broadcast, the Doves draw on everything Brit from New Order to Radiohead to Jesus and the Mary Chain to, dare I say it, The Beatles. The follow up to Lost Souls is lighter in tone but it is in no way less substantial - there's melancholy, there's grain and there's grit to get your teeth into and there are at least three singles that you should keep your ear out for. The first of which, 'There Goes The Fear', is already on high rotation at my place. Get yaself a taste of Marnchesta.
