In 2006, their sixth album, Follow the City Lights caused controversy as the style of the group changed from alternative rock to electronic pop.

Dover originated outside Madrid, in the town of Boadilla del Monte, in the early 90s when Cristina Llanos, then 17, decided to form a rock band encouraged by the alternative scene from Seattle, Washington.

Despite the limited success in terms of album sales, this helped Dover manage to gain a foothold in the music scene in Madrid; they even recorded their first music video "Come With Me" by Juan Bullón, but this song was not released as a single properly, though it was the most demanded for at concerts by fans.

The contract with Everlasting-Caroline only lasted a year and afterwards the band signed with the independent label Subterfuge Records.

Their first involvement with the label was to include a demo version of their song "Loli Jackson" in the multi-band compilation album Stereoparty 2.

The album was released on 21 April 1997, a fragment of the album's title track (specifically the chorus with the phrase "I lied for you, I lied for you...") was included in a popular television commercial by Radical Fruit Company which increased their notoriety and the band was launched to national fame.

They released their official first single from the album, Serenade, a song that, thanks to its strong chorus and catchy melody, managed to become their first number one in Spain.

It was released on 28 June of that year with great expectations created by its first single, DJ, a number one in Spain - something totally new for a rock band.

This success led to their first international tour, taking in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Mexico and the United States among others.

The album itself, titled I Was Dead for 7 Weeks in the City of Angels, was released on 17 September 2001 and in just ten days had sold 125,000 copies.

In May 2005, bassist Álvaro Díez was fired from the group and replaced by Samuel Titos, former guitarist and vocalist of Sperm.

On 31 July 2010, Dover released the first single from their upcoming album I Ka Kené on YouTube, "Dannayá".

The album I Ka Kené was later released on 4 October 2010 and it shows the multilingual side of Dover as the entire album was sung in French, Bambara and English During the first quarter of 2012, Dover announced the release of a single with two songs, an unreleased track and a cover of a popular song of the eighties; the unreleased track was mixed by Veronica Ferraro in France and the cover by Jesús Antúnez in Madrid.

[1] Dover took part in the Trina promotional campaign "Al natural", performing three songs: "Loli Jackson", "King George" and "Junnete", playing three acoustic versions.

Also the DVD includes interviews with the band members, plus two video clips: "Serenade" and "Loli Jackson".

The rest of the year, they only performed on a couple occasions, one of which was holding Subterfuge in the Music Day in June, where they presented a new untitled song, later to be called "Crash".

Produced by drummer Jesús Antúnez and recorded in Madrid, Complications returned to the melodic rock that characterized Dover's early albums.

Also, their song "The Weak Hour of the Rooster" quotes the last sentence from the suicide note of Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana: "It's better to burn out than to fade away".

As for the album I Ka Kené, they were influenced by African artists like Boubacar Traore, Korchach, Coumba Sidibe, John Chivadura, Nahawa Dumbia, Oliver Mtukudzi, Habib Koite, Sekouba Traore, Bembeya Jazz Orchestra, Sekouba Bambino, etc.
