Doves

In the live recording of "Rise" from the Late Late Show on June 13, 2001, Doves were experiencing a significant period in their career following the release of their debut album, "Lost Souls," which came out in early 2000. The album received critical acclaim and helped establish their unique sound, blending elements of alternative rock and electronic music. By the time of this performance, Doves were gaining momentum and playing to larger audiences, showcasing their evolving live presence. Notably, "Rise" was a standout track from their follow-up album, "The Last Broadcast," which was released in April 2002. This performance exemplified their ability to translate the atmospheric quality of their studio recordings into compelling live renditions, earning them a dedicated fanbase. The band's roots in the Manchester music scene and their early experiences as part of the group Sub Sub also played a role in shaping their distinctive sound during this pivotal time in their career.
