Doves - Some Cities

Did anybody else buy this last week?

After the first few listens, "Snowden" was my favourite track, but now it's "Ambition". It's beautiful.

Ambition by Doves

So ambition cut you down
Ain't a love as perfect
Everybody knows it
Something drove you down

Something as good
Something new
Somebody good
Our ambition cuts you down

There's not a love that's perfect
But I, I live in hope

Somebody good
Somebody new
Something as good
Something that's mine

Ain't a love that's perfect
Everybody knows it
Ambition cuts us down

Oh, well. Somebody must have bought it because it's number one in the UK album charts this week.

Love the track you sent me!

Like I said, the intro is VERY Sigur Ross, but then they take it further and mix it all up. Some of the melodies and how they build up the song are straight from the Beatles, but I love the way they mixed it up!

Tres British.

The whole album is very White Album-esque.

They're my favourite band in the whole world. I love them.

I am currently being blown away by;

The Faint (merci AB!), LCD Soundsystem and Iron & Wine...

Esp the last one though...
