Renegade and Cold Dreaming, taken from this February’s sixth studio album, Constellations For The Lonely, and 2025’s Record Store Day special, Lean Into The Wind, all shine further light on Doves inspired resurgence following their 2018 return from an almost decade long hiatus.
Band co-founder and singer on many of the band’s hits, Jimi Goodwin says: “So, here we are… a ‘best of’ can be a difficult thing to pull off but it was surprisingly easy once we got thinking. It’s by no means complete but, then how could it be? It’s been revelatory and somehow cathartic, revising what we’ve achieved together. I mean, wow! Did we really write this stuff?”
Released with EMI North on Fri 14 November 2025, digitally and on double vinyl and CD, offering limited collectors editions across both physical formats, the tracklisting for ‘So, Here We Are: Best Of Doves’ has been confirmed as follows:
1. Black And White Town
2. Pounding

5. Catch The Sun
6. Broken Eyes
7. Kingdom Of Rust
8. Darker
9. There Goes The Fear
10. Renegade
11. Prisoners
