Novena's New Music Friday Must Hear's & Coachella Must See's
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

At one time Doves were called Sub Sub, happily existing in the Manchester dance music scene. As a result of a studio fire that destroyed everything, including Sub Sub master tapes, they rethought their direction and emerged two years later as Doves. A long process of writing and recording, along with trial and error, resulted in Doves' sound. Doves' songs can be dark and moody, almost dirge-like to very spirited, energy releasing anthems. Whether you hear an upbeat song or a melancholy ballad, the Doves stamp is there.
