Free Music Notes for Some Cities
Free Music Review: Great sound, Reminds me of Tears for Fears
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a good album. "Black and White Town" is as good as it gets. I like the vocals and the music. They put together original tracks and have their own sound. That being said, they remind me a little of Tears for Fears but that's a compliment. I would recommend this to other fans of indie music. I'm looking forward to their new album!

Some Cities Poster
In the three years between this album and its epic-scaled predecessor, The Last Broadcast, Manchester trio Doves were obviously doing something more artistically rewarding than mere touring. It's not that their sense of ambitious scale has waned. It's that it has been refocused inward here toward personal matters and the state of their Northern UK homeland. The title track and thumping, soul-inflected single "Black and White Town" state as much early on. But much more than Doves' subject matter has evolved as well. The album's sonically intriguing mix of influences fuse singer Jimi Goodwin's unabashed hook jones with bottom-heavy club rhythms and the restless, expansive instincts of multi-instrumentalist twins Andy and Jez Williams. Then, all is channeled through the fuzzy aura of too many youthful 3am's at Manchester's famed Hacienda nightspot.The gorgeous moodiness of "Snowden" and string-drenched, mouth-harp seasoned "The Storm" show how far the band has evolved from its early Sub Sub incarnation/Manchester heritage, even as the bigger-than-life "Walk in Fire" shows just how deep those roots go. It's a magnificent record, one whose sense of scale belies its innate efficiency, and arguably Doves' most wholly satisfying to date. --Jerry McCulley
Some Cities is a turbo charged, sonorous assault; at points crunching and urban, sounding like a midnight high-speed joy ride through the industrial beating heart of their hometown city Manchester. The album, Some Cities could only ever have been born in the North of England and is the sound of a full throttle, Doves band. It's also the sound of the band at their most relaxed and confident, their most driven and fine-tuned. EMI. 2005.
