Music News - Steve Abel releases Sidewalk Doves

Steve Abel releases Sidewalk Doves

06 November 2015 - 0 Comments

In the lead up to Steve Abel's third album titled Luck/Hope set for release early 2016, the songwriter releases a new single calledSidewalk Doves. 

BUY THE SINGLE FROM: iTunes 

The song was inspired by an early cut of Florian Habicht’s (Pulp: A Film About Life, Death, And Supermarkets) New York-set film Love Story which won the Best Film award at the New Zealand Film Awards in 2011. The video for Sidewalk Doves was cut from footage of Florian’s film.

“I was in New York recording when Flo was conceiving the film in 2009,” says Steve. “When I saw the first cut of the film I went home and wrote this song in an instant.  It’s a super simple kind of frivolous pop song.”

Sidewalk Doves was recorded by Geoff Maddock (Bressa Creeting Cake, Goldenhorse) at Rick Bryant’s studio in Newton. Geoff also played electric guitar, bass and sang backing vocals along with Ed McWilliams. Cole Goodly played drums. It was mixed by Simon Gooding at The Lab.

Abel is about to embark on a three-date South Island tour accompanied by Reb Fountain and Jonathan Pearce (Princess Chelsea, The Beths).
