Doves' Jimi Goodwin has revealed that he has started work on his debut solo album.
In an interview with BBC 6 Music, Goodwin said he had teamed up with Elbow's Guy Garvey over the summer for the album.
''I'm loathed to call it a solo record but it probably is. It's shaping up to be like a mad mix tape, no pause for breath, no gaps between songs, going from 140BPM carnival style freak out to a folk track then hitting a hip hop esque beat,'' Goodwin said.
He added: ''Me and (Guy) Garvey have always threatened to write together and we finally got a chance to do that in the summer at [Peter Gabriel's] Realworld studios. I came down for a weekend and we finally got round to touching on a couple of tracks that we'd sent each other, we made progress on a couple of songs that will almost definitely make this record whatever it is I am making.''
The pair have previously worked together, with Guy Garvey featuring on two tracks from Doves' 2005 album, 'Some Cities' and Goodwin appearing on Elbow's 'Grace Under Pressure'.
