“We were interested in using the lyrical metaphor as a kind of vast expanse of the mind, in which thoughts and memories get trapped or locked into being forever,” Doves’ Jez Williams tells Rolling Stone. “Somewhere in the maze, there is a way out,...

Doves’ Jimi Goodwin and brothers Andy and Jez Williams shared “Prisoners” from their upcoming album on Thursday. “It’s about continually chasing something and not being satisfied when you eventually get it. You’ve got ‘that thing’ and you find you’re not any happier. Be careful what you wish for,” Andy Williams said of “Prisoners” in a statement.

Doves are preparing for their last show before going on hiatus. The "Black and White Town" band will be playing a final homecoming show at Manchester's Warehouse Project on October 16, after which they have no plans to work on a new album or tour.
"The Warehouse Project is our last gig for, I don't know," guitarist Jez Williams said. "It could be a long time. We've have no plans to do another album. All I know is this is our last gig."
Doves, which also includes Jez's brother Andy Williams and Jimi Goodwin, have enjoyed a hugely successful career with their 2009 album, "Kingdom of Rust" being critically well acclaimed, and accompanied by a successful tour before they released a "Best Of" earlier this year.
The group have previously denied, however, they are splitting for good, and refuted claims earlier this year that they would fully disband after touring. Andy wrote...

Angry Doves star Jimi Goodwin threatened to beat up crowd members who upset him during the band's last gig "for quite sometime" at Britain's V Festival on Sunday, August 22. Earlier this year, the British rockers announced they would be taking a two-year hiatus after growing tired of their repetitive schedule and guitarist Jez Williams told fans the band's set at the Essex, England festival, "This is our last festival for quite some time... It's been interesting."
But the set was marred after bassist Goodwin became increasingly upset with one section of the crowd, telling them, "Real classy s**t, yeah? You think you're s**tting me?"
"I'm going to have to come out there and kick the s**t out of you, and I mean it." It was unclear what had riled the musician.

Doves have admitted that they are worried about the futures of new bands in the current music industry. However, the alternative rock trio did claim that "hunger" and "determination" are still key qualities for a group's success. Guitarist Jez Williams told BBC 6 Music: "It's really difficult for bands to go out on the road and tour. It costs a lot of money to take a band on the road to do ten UK dates. "It's really tricky for new bands to get tour support because there's no such (more)...

Doves have revealed that they will not record a new album for at least "two or three years". According to Gigwise, the band plan to release a best-of in the meantime, but confessed that they would be taking their time on the follow-up to this year's Kingdom Of Rust. "We've done four albums so next year, around January time, we are putting out a greatest hits collection. I know four albums isn't masses but we have been around for ages because each album takes so long to write," explained guitarist Jez Williams. "We will have to start thinking about a fifth album after the greatest hits collection, but in all honesty, I doubt we'll finish our fifth album until at least two or three years' time." He added: "It (more)...
