“Do Something Clever”, the latest single from Macon, GA’s The DOVES, finds the duo in “noir” territory. A danceable expression of the menace that lies just beneath the surface of civility…

The DOVES follow up the “daily dose of dread, despair, (and) paranoia” of “If I Fall” with “Do Something Clever”, which explores the noir-ish territory of understated malice that lurks just behind the facade of civility.

Do something clever, and join The DOVES in dancing your way a little closer to the apocalypse with “Do Something Clever”.
