I first fell in love with Doves when their video for “Catch The Sun” was in regular rotation on MTV2. It was a gateway drug into a bunch of other stuff from folks like Grandaddy, who have always felt like some distant American cousin to Doves.

And I’m falling back in love with this trio from outside of Manchester and their latest single, “Renegade.” It’s the first taste of their upcoming album, “Constellations For The Lonely,” due out on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) next year. Drummer Andy Williams described it like this:

“Looking at everyone’s lives over recent years, and considering the news at the moment, ‘Renegade’ feels a lot more loaded in retrospect. We wanted to go for a dystopian feel, thinking about Manchester itself over the next century or so. A totally imaginary thing… ‘Blade Runner’ set in our home city.”

Easy to relate to that considering how often Detroit’s cityscape feels like “Blade Runner,” too.

The term “devil’s night” has been dead in Detroit for some years… but I do reference it because it went on for such a long time in this city (hence for the photo for this post). This show was a precursor to Halloween, when I’m really going to dive into music that feels like Halloween without actually being a Halloween song. You helped with these — huge thanks to your voicemails! I’ve noted which tracks are listener picks below.
