Jimi Goodwin (Doves) - CQAF

After four hugely acclaimed, much loved albums with Doves (two No.1s, two Platinum, two Gold, two Mercury nominations) followed by the career-spanning Best of compilation, Jimi Goodwin is releasing his first solo album.

A wonderful, deeply personal album that is impossible to pigeonhole and will surprise a few people, Odludek is the first great record of 2014. It boasts brilliant, panoramic, visceral, soul-searching tracks that are true siblings to Doves’ oeuvre.

Odludek is released on Heavenly Recordings on March 24th. Q recently described the album as a “wildly trippy collection, a joyous collision between the scale and scope of Doves’ music and the magpie-like attitude of Sub Sub.”

Jimi is currently putting together a band to tour Odludek and joins Elbow on their forthcoming UK arena tour in April. “I feel like I’ve been in hibernation, and now I’m emerging out in to the sunlight again, and it feels great.”
