1) a Spanish alternative-pop-rock band which was founded in [year formed]1992[/year formed]. The Band currently consists of the sisters Christina Llanos (guitar/vocals) and Amparo Llanos (guitar), Jesús Antúnez (drums), and Samuel Titos (bass) who recently replaced former bassist Álvaro Díez. Their music ranges from heavy to sweet, shouting to dreaming, but always with a groovy drive.
Dover originated in the outskirts of Madrid at the beginning of the 1990s when the Llanos sisters decided to form a rock band encouraged by the alternative scene from Seattle. In 1994, the drummer Jesús Antúnez and the bass guitarist Álvaro Gómez joined in. One of the band's demo tapes reached the radio program Disco Grande on RNE Radio 3. The band then entered into a one-year contract with the small independent record label Everlasting-Caroline. Their debut album Sister in 1995 lacked promotion and sold poorly; however, the Spanish fanzine Mondo Sonoro included it among the 10 best national albums of the year.
After their initial contract expired, they signed with the independent label Subterfuge Records, which produced their second album Devil Came To Me. This album turned out to be an unprecedented success in the Spanish independent scene. A fragment from the title song was included in a popular Radical Fruit Company television commercial and the band got launched to national fame. While promoting this album, the bass guitarist was replaced by Álvaro Díez, who had already been part of the band at its beginning. The album sold over 500,000 copies and gained them fans also abroad in Europe and the Americas.
Their relationship with Subterfuge Records deteriorated and they signed with Chrysalis Records. In 1998, the band created their own label Loli Jackson Records. The next year they recorded their third album Late At Night in Seattle.
In 2000, they received the MTV Europe Best Spanish Artist award. In 2001, Chrysalis re-released their first album Sister including a bonus unreleased song Noche tras noche. In September that year, after tense recording sessions in Los Angeles marked by disagreements with their album producer Barret Jones, the band released their fourth album I Was Dead For 7 Weeks In The City Of Angels.
In 2003, they released The Flame, recorded in Spain and produced by Rick Will, an album that shows all the fury that has made them big without forgetting those great songs of melody and quality. Stephen Marcussen (Marcussen Mastering, NYC) did the mastering, a classic that has mastered a lot of the legendary records of the last 15 years.
In 2006, Dover released Follow the City Lights. It was recorded at PKO Studios and self-produced along with Daniel Alcover. The album was preceded by the single Let Me Out, and broke away from their usual sound to create a more dance-like style.
The band's 2007 release 2 is a greatest hits compilation, which exhibits the rock sound that brought them to stardom, as well as the band's new electronic sound.
The first single from 2 is entitled "Soldier."
2) An artist associated with the doujin circle Tokyo Audio Waffle, or en;dolphinrecords. He is a producer of a wide range of genres, from house to hip-hop, to chiptune, and to deep house.
Late At Night
Dover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everyone's staring at me
So I thought that was just a dream
But hey! I could feel their legs
So I went up
Higher than you've never been
I waited 'till the sun went down
But I'm still here
And if you turn on the lights
They'll see the gas
And if you turn on the lights
They'll know about my plans
I could see the trees
And I know they also saw me
We all were going back and forth
Like we moved with the wind
It was not bad
But listen, do you know who I am?
If you ache I lose weight
I rather be fat again
And if you turn on the lights
They'll see the gas
And if you turn on the lights
They'll know about my plans
It's just a matter of time
That they are back
The lyrics of Dover's song Late at Night speak of a strange dream-like experience that the artist has had. The song begins with the artist waking up late at night and finding everyone staring at them. Initially believing that it was just a dream, they realize that they can feel the legs of those staring at them. The artist then goes on to describe how they went up higher than they have ever been before and waited till the sun went down, but they are still there.
The artist then switches gears and talks about the trees they can see and how they, too, saw the artist. They describe how they were moving back and forth with the trees, like they moved with the wind. The artist also says that they would rather be fat again than lose weight if someone else were in pain. The song ends with the artist talking about how turning on the lights would reveal their "plans" and how it's just a matter of time before "they" are back.
The lyrics of Dover's Late at Night are ambiguous and open to interpretation, allowing the listener to create their own understanding of the song. It could be about the fear of being caught doing something wrong, the desire to escape reality or a dreamlike experience. The song incorporates interesting imagery, metaphors, and allusions that can be analyzed in different ways.
