DOVES return with their first new music in over four years and announce a new album for release in early 2025, reclaiming territory all their own with the stormy euphoria of Renegade. Jimi Goodwin, Andy and Jez Williams’ winding path to a sixth album reaches that milestone next year, as the 10-Track Constellations For The Lonely is confirmed for release on Fri 14 February 2025 after joining EMI North.

Signing off their last chapter with the release of their third UK chart-peaking album, 2020’s boundary-pushing, The Universal Want, the release of Renegade concludes a patchwork of writing and recording sessions that began in the same year. Reading from the same page on their new single’s sense of dystopian drama, all three Doves own sense of change, uncertainty and determination pervades the intricate, Goodwin-fronted collage of cinematic sound.

Settling on the collective desire for a new album as soon as they closed the door on The Universal Want’s No.1 success, Renegade was the first to be written for Constellations Of The Lonely and the last to be written in their famed creative rural retreat, Frank Bough Sound III. Physically unanchored, waving off a totem of their shared past and facing personal mountains to climb, a new, intense, filmic, classic Doves album was carefully nurtured.
