Doves is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Sub Sub, Badly Drawn Boy and David Holmes. Those roots explain a lot about how Doves arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Coral, James, Shed Seven, Mansun and Ocean Colour Scene, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into My Morning Jacket, Alfie, Goldfrapp, Electronic and Talk Talk, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 30 connections around Doves, reaching back through Sub Sub and forward to My Morning Jacket.
