Doves v Chris Watson / Birds Flew Backwards

Here’s a treat; We are pleased to make avail­able for the first time the oppor­tun­ity to hear a col­lab­or­a­tion between Doves and another of our favour­ite artists,Chris Wat­son . This is a remix that Chris has done of the song ‘Birds Flew Back­wards’ from the bands last album ‘King­dom of Rust’ . Chris is the UK’s lead­ing sound record­ist spe­cial­ising in wild­life, who in a pre­vi­ous life, was in the band Cab­aret Voltaire.

If you aren’t famil­iar with Chris’s work (although if you have watched or listened to any sig­ni­fic­ant nat­ural his­tory broad­cast in the last dec­ade you unknow­ingly will be) I sug­gest you check out his web­site and that of his label, Touch, where you will find some of his amaz­ing recordings.

Also on a Doves tip, The Caught by the River web­site has announced that the second in their series of orni­tho­lo­gic­ally themed music com­pil­a­tions will be going out to their mem­bers on Wed­nes­day the 24th. This time the tracks have been selec­ted by Jimi Good­win (from the aptly named Doves. Once again the art­work has been done by Matt Sewell and fea­tures Jimi’s song­bird of choice, the robin.
