DovesThe Places Between – The Best of DovesEMI MusicThe hits compilation by the British indie band features hits from each of their four albums, “Lost Souls,” “The Last Broadcast,” “Some Cities,” and 2009’s “Kingdom of Rust,” as well as an assortment of singles. Although a greatest hits compilation seems premature for a group just more than a decade old, Doves have certainly produced some of the most innovative alternative rock of their day. While the single disc provides a comprehensive sampling of the band’s best work, it’s best left to those who have never listened to Doves before. The album opens with “There Goes The Fear,” widely considered their best track. Although it was released in 2002, it still sounds fresh and original. The majority of the songs are from the band’s first two albums — hopefully, that doesn’t mean they have already reached their peak.E. CLAUSEN–Exit Through the Gift ShopParanoid Pictures”Exit Through the Gift Shop” is a thoroughly provocative documentary about subversive street art culture and its most famous artist, Banksy. An eccentric French shopkeeper, Thierry Guetta, sets out to find Banksy and film the world renowned grafitti legend at work. But Banksy turns the camera back on the filmmaker, and Guetta becomes a street artist under the name of “Mr. Brainwash.” The film manages to examine important ideas about the value of art and the fine line between passion and obsession in a thrilling, resonant way.C. ABSHIRE–OzomatliFire AwayDowntown RecordsOzomatli is known for its energetic live performances that seamlessly segue from Latin to funk and hip-hop. But where “Fire Away,” the band’s fifth studio release, truly shines is the way it captures the band’s live vitality while giving a glimpse of its maturing songwriting. The band’s non-stop, dance floor-ready vibe can be seen on tracks like “Caballito” and “Malagasy Shock.” But tracks like the more ethereal “Love Comes Down” show a dynamic that’s new to fans. After 15 years of tearing through live sets around the world, not many bands can say they’ve done it with both the mass appeal and musicianship of Ozomatli.B. BOURGEOIS–OceansDisneynatureThe second installment in the Disneynature series boasts superb cinematography plastered with grandiose images of decadent oceans and bustling sea life amidst the backdrop of Pierce Brosnan’s smooth narration. The documentary is an aesthetic tour de force, but its presentation of facts is lacking. The story the documentary is intended to tell is not concrete enough for viewers to feel immersed in the film. The images are breathtaking — which makes the film enjoyable — but the narration and cohesiveness of the film could stand for a more compelling setup.  M. JACOBS–Willie NelsonCountry MusicRounder RecordsCountry legend Willie Nelson returns to his famed style after several albums exploring different, more modern sounds. Nelson enlists respected producer T-Bone Burnett to produce “Country Music,” and Burnett lends the album a rural, rustic atmosphere behind Nelson’s reassuring voice. “Music” is a reserved and carefully crafted effort, which is part of the reason the album plods along with little excitement at times. While Nelson works in his comfort zone with a return to his country roots, the record feels like a throwback that barely misses the mark of Nelson’s best work.C. ABSHIRE–KeaneNight Train EPIsland RecordsKeane’s latest EP is its most experimental to date. The alternative British trio put out an eight-track compilation that’s less catchy but more interesting than its past projects. The band is no stranger to synth sounds, keyboards and strings with minimal guitar — but guitar presence isn’t missed in “Night Train.” The tracks move away from “Somewhere Only We Know” and “Everybody’s Changing,” which garnered Keane the most attention across the Atlantic. Tracks like “Clear Skies” have thoughtful lyrics and are better suited to frontman Tom Chaplin’s vocals than his straining earlier styles. While the sound of “My Shadow” has already been done — Coldplay’s 2005 “X&Y” — Somali-Canadian rapper K’naan is a nice change of pace on two tracks, and innovative sampling of the theme from “Rocky” distinguish this new Keane. “Night Train” is due out May 11.  S.
