Doves Deliver Studio Update On Forthcoming LP

The trio posted the following on their official blog.

*Hi all: So we've been hauled up 4 some time in the studio. We've done 8 tracks. We will be recording another 8 tracks so we still have some way to go. Again thanks for all your words of encouragement, it means a lot to us. When we finish this album and enter the "touring bubble like world" (I'm hearing a lot of requests to play in your cities / towns - noted!! We will try and visit as many places as possible. The studio is a little farmhouse barn in cheshire we did some mixing in RAK studios owned by the legendary producer Mickie Most. John Leckie has since moved on due to previous commitments (he's now recording with African artist Baaba Maal). Co-production wise, we've hooked up with an amazing up and coming producer called Dan Austin (Cherry Ghost / Massive Attack). We immediately clicked. As a result the recording is very intuitive, so the mood is really positive and upbeat in the doves camp - Andy is about to become a dad for the first time so were all really excited for him - obviously were taking 3 to 4 weeks out of recording 'cause Andy will be in baby mode. We will all be writing new tunes in the spare time, it's a good break to write fresh material.... errr sorry no album release this year 'cause it's got to be right... we do appreciate you being patient. xxxxxxxxx*

Doves Drop Hints On LP4

Check out the semi-cryptic message below, via the band's official site:

*THREE TRACKS 'WINTER HILL' , '10.03' AND WORKING TITLE 'DISCO EYAM'

LEGENDARY PRODUCER AT THE HELM. WHO'S NAME WE DONT WANT TO DIVULGE YET. WE'RE SOUNDING TIGHT, IT'S BEEN FUN PLAYING WITH THE REBEL AGAIN AS HE'S BEEN BUSY WRITING HIS 3RD LP WHICH SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLY BEAUTIFUL.

CAN'T WAIT FOR U TO HEAR THE RESULTS

LOVE DOVESBANDXXXX*

I have no doubts that their fourth full-length will be another beauty.
