Doves have shared their first piece of new music in over a decade after last year’s Teenage Cancer Trust series hosted their major live comeback.

Carousels began to be shaped by Jez Williams during a stay in Porto, and sits somewhere in between the sound which pushed Doves to the forefront of British rock in the early 2000s and the DNA of a band which evolved out of the acid dance of Sub Sub.

Built around a sample of drummer Tony Allen, it sees the trio using the studio as an instrument, focusing on ‘a bad-ass breakbeat’ according to Jimi Goodwin. “It’s a reminiscence of the times that we’d go to places like north Wales on holiday as kids,” Andy Williams adds. “Places where you had your first experience of sound systems and music being played really loud.”
