Was only four months old, but I got quite attached to the little dude. Guitarist Jez Williams is playing host with the most. He passes me a cheese and tomato sandwich and nods appreciatively when I ask for a beer, while he brews himself a herbal tea. His twin brother and drummer Andy Williams, the final member of Doves , is upstairs nursing a virus.
These three have been playing together for 19 years now, first as dance band Sub Sub, and then for 11 years as guitar band Doves. The critics have always been lovely about them in a sneery way, or sneery about them in a lovely way. The consensus is that they are a bunch of Manchester miserabilists with great swooping melodies, bucketloads of soul, unstarry lifestyles and even more unstarry appearances. They are not entirely happy with that description.
Then again, let's examine the evidence: their first album was called Lost Souls; their most famous single is There Goes the Fear; and the video for their most recent single Kingdom of Rust shows a man spreading the ashes of his dead girlfriend on a deserted Blackpool beach.
We've always had that sort of euphoric thing. It's the kids, man - it's their first pet. So I'm in trouble. There is a stoic humanity to the band's music: shit happens, life goes on, things evolve, sometimes they even get a little better.
If Doves were a playwright, they would be Samuel Beckett. If they were a painter, they would be De Kooning: layer piled on layer to create a thicket of sound. This is symphonic rock, not in a pompous sense but in a democratic one - no flashy guitar solos or individual showmanship, just great ensemble playing.
All three swap instruments and vocals, depending on what suits the song best. The new album, also called Kingdom of Rust, has been widely praised as their best. It was recorded on a farm near Warrington and feels like the soundtrack to a landscape: you can almost hear the lashing rain, the ghostly wind; there are references to the arrival of swallows and the promise of summer.
The twins have been playing music together since they were six. Their biggest influences were Manchester bands such as Joy Division, New Order, the Smiths, Happy Mondays - not just because they loved the tunes, but because they were local and gave them something to aspire to.
They hooked up with Jimi when they were 15 at Wilmslow high school, though he wasn't there much - he spent most of his time stealing his dad's dope and getting stoned in friends' black-painted bedrooms.
