Doves - Black And White Town (Director's Cut)


BEST SONGS OF 2005, #3: "Black & White Town" by DOVES (formed 1998
Manchester, England - dream pop) It begins with the beat, aneurysm-inducing
drums that carry you forward to the end of the song. No, it's not a drum machine.
The drummer always plays with steady, vein-popping intensity. Add piano, then
background electronics and keep piling on the layers of sound. "When you leave 
to find your place in the world . . . you better make sure you don't crack your
head on the pavement" Motown should tribute. Martha And The Vandellas =
"Heat Wave!" Sweet guitar solo.
