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).
