Belly's day in the sun in the '90s was brief but memorable -- after her stints in Throwing Muses and the Breeders, Tanya Donelly scored an honest-to-goodness hit record with Belly's 1993's debut album Star, driven by the single "Feed the Tree." Then the follow up, 1995's King, unexpectedly tanked, and a year later the band was done. But after a successful reunion tour in 2016, Belly chose to take on that most challenging project, the reunion album, and their belated third album, Dove, is the result. Despite more than two decades away from the studio, Belly sound strong and confident on Dove; this doesn't feel like the work of a band starting over, but one that's solid, seasoned, and plays together very well. Donelly and and Thomas Gorman are an estimable guitar combination, creating dense and often beautiful clouds of six-string atmosphere, while bassist Gail Greenwood and drummer Christopher Gorman drive the songs with an impressive balance of artful sophistication and muscle. And Donelly's vocals are on point while her lyrics clearly draw from the same slightly psychedelic energy that has always been her inspiration. Dove is a beautifully crafted album from a more mature and contemplative version of Belly than we heard back in their salad days. ~ Mark Deming
