Doves to take time off
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 30 April 2010
Doves have announced that they are planning to take some time off following the release of their best of compilation, ‘The Places Between’.
The band’s Jimi Goodwin told The Daily Record: “The best of was a weird thing really. We weren’t really thinking ‘it’s our time to do this’, it was sort of in the contract, and there was also no talk of writing for a while. After [last album] ‘Kingdom Of Rust’, we really do need to recharge the batteries in that respect.We just don’t want to do that whole sitting-round-the-table-to-discuss-our-next-move kind of thing.It’s nice just to have a bit of breathing space”.
He continued: “We just wanted to get off that whole album-tour-album-tour treadmill. None of us are ready to face going into the studio for another two years. This is wiping the slate clean, we have nothing else in the vaults now. That is it. Whatever we do from now on will be a new start”.
