The discography of the English alternative rock trio Doves comprises five studio albums, sixteen singles, and seven EPs, as well as a best-of compilation album, a B-sides compilation, and a full-length DVD compilation. After self-releasing their first three EPs on Casino Records, the band signed to Heavenly Recordings and released their debut album Lost Souls in April 2000. The album reached number 16 on the UK Albums Chart, and has since been certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. Their second album The Last Broadcast was even more successful upon its release in April 2002, reaching number 1 on the charts and yielding the band's highest-charting single to date, "There Goes the Fear", which peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The album has also been certified platinum by the BPI. In February 2005, Doves released their third studio album Some Cities, which again topped the albums chart at number 1, and produced the hit single "Black and White Town", which charted at number 6, and the minor hit "Snowden", which peaked at number 17.
Following worldwide tours throughout 2005, the band took a break, which saw singer/bassist Jimi Goodwin providing drums on the songs "Mathematics" and "People Help the People" by Bolton-based indie pop band Cherry Ghost, and drummer Andy Williams becoming a father for the first time in September 2007. The band reconvened and began recording throughout 2007 and 2008. Their anticipated fourth album Kingdom of Rust was released in April 2009, peaking at number 2 on the albums chart. The album yielded two singles: "Kingdom of Rust" and "Winter Hill", the latter of which marked the first time a single by the band did not enter the top 100 of the Singles Chart. Worldwide tours coincided with the releases, including an appearance at the BBC Electric Proms festival accompanied by the London Bulgarian Choir in October 2009.[1]
A best–of compilation, entitled , was released in April 2010[2] and peaked at number 12 on the albums chart. The single "Andalucia" preceded the album in March 2010.
Following the release of The Places Between, Doves announced they would be taking an indefinite hiatus, during which time Jimi Goodwin released his debut solo album Odludek and the Williams brothers regrouped as Black Rivers and released an eponymous album. Then, in 2019, Doves reunited for a special charity gig, whereupon rumours of the band recording new material began to circulate. On 18 June 2020, the band released their first music in ten years with a song titled "Carousels". Another track, "Prisoners", followed one month later. Simultaneously, the band announced their fifth studio album, The Universal Want, which was released on 11 September 2020,[3] with third single "Cathedrals of the Mind" preceding the album's release on 27 August 2020. The Universal Want became the band's third album to top the UK Albums Chart at number 1.
