White Flowers Day By Day

I was finally able to pick up a copy of the White Flowers album Day By Day. The album was of course produced in part by Jez. A lazy comparison perhaps, but if you like Cocteau Twins you’ll love this record. Well worth checking out..

Corbu & Jimi Video

Well worth a watch! Jimi talking to his friends Corbu about how he reworked their latest single Lost & Found. Corbu are fans of Doves, so lots of Doves discussion naturally. Jimi also talks about what he’s currently up to away from Doves and possible Doves tour dates in the US.
