Some Cities-Limited Box

Some Cities-Limited Box

• Music

This strictly limited-edition box set features the Some Cities CD, bonus DVD (PAL/Region 0) and an exclusive art poster with the linen bound box featuring unique and exclusive artwork. The bonus DVD features a short film (approx 11 minutes) of the 'making of' the album titled "Cities Under Construction", plus a photo gallery (set to an exclusive album instrumental) and the Director's Cut of the video for "Black and White Town" by acclaimed Director Lynne Ramsay. If the first two Doves albums, Lost Souls and the Last Broadcast, were records that sounded like they were conceived in Glastonbury-like vast open plains, each number a snapshot of the wide open countryside or of the rolling sea, then their third album, Some Cities, paints altogether different pictures. At points it's crunching and urban, sounding like a midnight high-speed joy ride through the industrial beating heart of the city (most noticeably on the turbo charged first single "Black and White Town"). at others, it's like a long lost soundtrack to some early '60s kitchen sink drama ("Someday Soon", "Shadows of Salford"). Some Cities could only ever have been born in the North of England and is the sound of a full throttle Doves band. It's also the sound of the band at their most relaxed and confident, their most driven and fine-tuned.
