Double vinyl LP pressing. Lost Souls is the debut studio album by British indie rock band Doves, originally released in April 2000. The album was recorded over a period of several years, following the dissolution of Doves' original musical incarnation as house music act Sub Sub. Lost Souls was met with positive critical acclaim, and was a shortlist nominee for the Mercury Prize in 2000. The album was roundly praised on it's release for it's blending of claustrophobic intensity and euphoria, the sonic influences from electronic music present in it's textures and for being "the perfect after-hours soundtrack."
