Considering that Manchester-based indie phenoms, Doves, literally formed from the ashes of a burnt down recording studio, it comes as a fitting coincidence that the centerpiece of their latest album, "Some Cities," is an exhilarating, intoxicating anthem titled "Walk in Fire." The band -- twin brothers Andy (drums) and Jez Williams (guitar) and frontman Jimi Goodwin (bass and vocals) -- formed in 1998 after a studio fire put an end to the trio's previous project, a dance ensemble called Sub Sub. Seven years and three full-length albums later, Doves has emerged as the next icon of British pop rock with their unique blend of catchy melodies, tight guitar riffs, and honest lyrics. Doves has not exactly been prolific in recent years, following up their 2000 debut album, "Lost Souls," with a 2002 sophomore effort, "The Last Broadcast."

During the recording phases of their newest album, Doves embarked upon a musical tour, ditching the lively streets of Manchester for more intimate locations across northern England, Wales, and the Scottish Highlands.
