Originally called Dove, the group released its debut single, "Fallen", on the Glasgow-based label Soma in October 1991. It was a significant club hit and brought them a deal with the Junior Boys Own label. Changing their name to avoid confusion with a similarly-named group, in 1992 JBO issued a new recording of "Fallen", produced by Andrew Weatherall, which brought the group to greater attention from the British music press. Further critical acclaim followed with the release of the 12" single "Transient Truth". For other uses, see Glasgow (disambiguation). ...

At this stage, One Dove were still primarily a club-oriented group, but for the single "Breakdown", an attempt was made to make their music more radio-friendly by including commercial mixes by William Orbit and Stephen Hague. With this increasingly commerical sound, the band became a favourite with publications such as Select and Q, and were often favourably compared with Saint Etienne, another female-fronted group who were having success with pop-dance crossover recordings.

In 1993, One Dove released their one and only album, Morning Dove White, which included another new veaion of "Fallen" together with 12" mixes of "Breakdown" and "Transient Truth". Critical respose to the album was somewhat muted, with some critics suggesting that Weatherall had imposed too much of his own sound onto the album (though conversely, others criticised the CD version for tempering Weatherall's vision by adding the Stephen Hague mixes of "White Love" and "Breakdown" as bonus tracks). Other critics expressed disappointment that the album's title had been changed at the last moment from the original working title, Sound. 1993 (MCMXCIII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and marked the Beginning of the International Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1993-2003). ...
The album was preceded by the single "White Love", and a further track from the album, "Why Don't You Take Me", was subsequently released as a single for the Christmas market. For the B-sides of the "Why Don't You Take Me" single (which included a reworking of Dolly Parton's much-covered song "Jolene"), the group expanded to a five-piece with the addition of Ed Higgins on percussion and Colin McIlroy on guitar, and showcased a more heavily dub-influenced sound. This line-up later went into the studio to begin work on a second album, but frustrated by record industry politics, split up midway through the sessions.
