- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
The critically acclaimed and beloved British trio Doves return with their
first album in four years, Kingdom of Rust. Their 4th studio album, and first
since Some Cities debuted at #1 on the U.K. album charts in February, 2005,
Kingdom delivers the Dove's most sonically adventurous, intimate, and
cerebral album to date.
Comprised of brothers Jez and Andy Williams, and Jimi Goodwin, the trio has
been recording the album for the past 18 months, having ensconced themselves
to a farm house-come-studio in backwaters of Cheshire, England. They teamed
up with long time Doves collaborator Dan Austin to co-produce all but 2
tracks of Kingdom Of Rust. For the remaining 2 tracks; "10.03" and "Winter
Hill," the group worked with ace producer John Leckie (Stone
Roses,Radiohead).
The single "Kingdom of Rust", lands in the broodier atmospherics of Lost
Souls, strapped with a Johnny Cash bassline; "Jetstream" is a stomping Doves
classic in waiting, fitted with a propulsive krautrock motorik, it inherits
the bands dance DNA from their former Sub Sub extraction, with other searing
standouts ("Greatest Denier", "Lifeline") rounding out this career defining
album.
