DOVES reveal their new single ‘A Drop In The Ocean’

DOVES meld philosophical lyrics and spacial, bass-propelled atmospherics on their latest track release, revealing “A Drop In The Ocean” ahead of the release of their sixth studio album this week. Floating through fathoms of deep thought and misted melody, all led by Jimi Goodwin’s yearning vocal, the track is the fourth to be revealed from Constellations For The Lonely, released this Fri, 28 February 2025, on EMI North.

Following up the sweeping, strings-and-beats splendour of their starting pistol single for the year, Cold Dreaming, released at the beginning of January, Doves quickened the chase into a momentous second month of 2025 with Saint Teresa a fortnight ago. In addition to the album’s much-anticipated arrival, February has brought the opening dates of Dove’s 16-date Constellation For The Lonely UK Tour, which continues tonight at a SOLD-OUT La Belle Angele in Edinburgh.

Searching for perspective by sidelining self-importance, A Drop In The Ocean’s lines of humble wisdom evoke a Doves-penned blueprint for a route around tough times, as Andy Williams explains: “It’s a song about us being insignificant, which can be helpful to remember when you’re going through a tough time.

“A problem can be so big in your head,” he continues, “but it can be comforting to remember how small we are in the grand scheme of things.” https://www.xsnoize.com/doves-reveal-their-new-single-a-drop-in-the-ocean/
