Black and White Town


"Black and White Town" is the lead single from English rock band Doves' third album, Some Cities. The single was released on 7 February 2005 and gave the band their second top-10 hit, charting at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart. The atmospheric single is noted for its heavy piano and guitars played in unison, with Andy Williams' percussion maintaining a driving beat. The music video for "Black and White Town", directed by Lynne Ramsay, was filmed on the Summerston and Prospecthill Circus council housing estates in Glasgow. There also exists a "director's cut" of the video, featuring different footage, which can be found on the DVD in the limited edition box set version of the Some Cities album.
