Black And White Town
Despite proffering two albums of consistently memorable, overpoweringly catchy rock, U.K. trio Doves has never dented a Billboard singles chart. In a perfect world, "Black and White Town," the first single from the upcoming album "Some Cities" (due March 1), will be the track that exposes this superb
band to a wider audience. Stomping out of the gate like a turbocharged crossbreed of the Motown staple "Heat Wave" and a vintage New Order single, "Town" rides a driving backbeat and chiming piano chords straight into soul/rock salvation. This band has a knack for transforming simple sentiments into sonic calls to arms. What we have here is an escapist anthem ("In satellite towns/There's no color and no sound") guaranteed to snap you out of myriad ruts in four quick minutes. Goodwin's vocals are at once inviting and inspirational, so why resist?—JC
