Doves

In 2005, Doves was enjoying a significant moment in their career following the release of their second studio album, *The Last Broadcast*, which came out in 2002. This album was a commercial success and solidified their presence in the British rock scene, featuring hits like "There Goes the Fear" and "Words." Their performance of "Black and White Town" at the Glastonbury Festival on June 24, 2005, showcases their unique sound characterized by lush harmonies and atmospheric instrumentation, which resonated well with audiences. Additionally, the song itself reflects themes of nostalgia and social commentary, often interpreted as a critique of contemporary life in Britain. The Glastonbury performance helped further elevate their status as a compelling live act, reinforcing their reputation for engaging and emotionally charged performances.
