Doves

The live recording of "Carousels" at the Radio Theatre represents a significant moment in Doves' career, as it occurred after an 11-year hiatus and coincided with the release of their album "The Universal Want." Released in September 2020, this album marked the band's return to the music scene, showcasing their distinctive sound characterized by a blend of alternative rock and electronic influences. Prior to this hiatus, Doves had an established history of successful albums, with their last release before "The Universal Want" being "Kingdom of Rust" in 2009. The live session not only highlighted their comeback but also served as a platform to engage with both longstanding fans and new listeners. Furthermore, the opportunity to perform at BBC Radio 6 Music symbolized their enduring relevance in the UK music landscape, capturing the excitement surrounding their return.
