However, the band never stay in the sun for long. Night has fallen on the streets of LA, with White Dove creating their own dark-pop sound. As songwriter Alex Johnstone’s abstract lyricism and otherworldly vocals anchor the album, the songs twist and turn, from a laid back shuffle one minute, to ominously expansive the next. The band reveal themselves to be capable of both the celestial as well as the immediate, with instantly memorable songs that could leave the ground at any moment. Shedding their former name Monster, a moniker Alex Johnstone has carried since forming the band in Sierra Madre, CA in 2002, this year finds White Dove completing their new album at Kingsize Sound Labs in Los Angeles with producer Dave Trumfio (Wilco, Grandaddy, My Morning Jacket, Built To Spill, Pulsars). “The Hoss, The Candle” again puts Johnstone’s voice and songwriting front and center, this time supported by the melodically spry guitar lines of Jack Long and the cool bass lines of Carl Harders. Keyboards and pedal steel round out a record that is steeped in transcendent melodies and silvery songcraft. With touchstones such as Fleetwood Mac, Em
