It’s about escape really – like most of our songs are, explains Doves singer Jimi Goodwin in his distinctive Manchester purr. Escape out of our head and into the real world.
Across their four albums Doves provided a suitably cathartic, soothing soundtrack to the post-millennium years and it’s tangible in the early stages. They open with Firesuite from their debut Lost Souls, still a supremely atmospheric, spacious scene setter.
Miller Filtered Music promised a night to see your favourite band, in an intimate setting doing something original, and on the first night of this ambitious project they certainly ticked all those boxes.
