Doves

In the live recording of "Prisoners" for Absolute Radio, Doves were in a resurgent phase of their career, having released their album *The Universal Want* in September 2020. This album marked the band's first new material in nearly a decade, following a hiatus that began after their 2009 album *Kingdom of Rust*. The performance of "Prisoners," a single from this album, showcases the band's evolution while still retaining their signature sound characterized by atmospheric melodies and introspective lyrics. Notably, *The Universal Want* received critical acclaim, with some reviewers highlighting the band's ability to remain relevant in a changing music landscape. The live session underscores Doves' return and commitment to their craft, connecting with both longtime fans and new listeners in a fresh context.
