Great review from the hard to please pitchfork... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The story of Doves puts lie to the old adage that "it's all about the music, man." Because if it really were all about the music, Jez and Andy Williams would be the most famous brothers to come out of Manchester, Jimi Goodwin would be the go-to Britpop duet partner for Jay-Z and Kanye, and all those "Viva La Vida" ringtones you hear going off at Urban Outfitters would be replaced by a digitized symphony of Doves' "Black and White Town". But as their back-story includes no tabloid-baiting tales of fraternal fisticuffs or marriages to Hollywood starlets, Doves could be the most unassuming, unsung band to have scored back-to-back UK No. 1 album debuts; on North American shores, their ascent has been somewhat hampered by the fact that their opening bands (the Strokes in 2001, the Rapture in 2002) have blown up bigger than the headliner. And unless one of the Doves starts dating Jennifer Aniston anytime soon, it's unlikely that Kingdom of Rust will radically change their stature. Rather, Doves' fourth album is another sterling example of why the Doves should be household names and why they probably won't ever be: their unwavering flair for producing mountainous, Wembley-worthy pop anthems that are nonetheless invested with a palpable degree of grace and humility. While the past decade has seen the indie kids go dance and the dance kids go indie, Doves' 1998 formation was ironically predicated on an abrupt, 180-degree break from their former house-production guise as Sub Sub, absconding rhythmic propulsion for a space-rock sway. But more than any previous Doves album, Kingdom of Rust is built for motion and acceleration, leading its songs to unexpected and often exhilarating highs: Slow-percolating opener "Jetstream" counts down to lift-off with a hi-hat-triggered techno bed track that gradually intensifies into a tremorous, tribal clatter; "The Outsiders" blasts potholes into the Autobahn with a brawny Krautrock beat. Even when the band seemingly reverts to its familiar astral balladry on "10:03", the reprieve is short-lived-- Goodwin's sweet, moonlit serenade is eventually upended by a creepy chorus of ghostly voices, launching a psych-rock eruption that suddenly transforms the song from Kingdom of Rust's most elegiac moment into its most unsettling one. Perhaps this restlessness is indicative of certain frustration on Doves' part in seeing their efforts eclipsed by less imaginative, more mawkish Britpop bands, and in turn, a desire to distance themselves from the sad-sack pack; it's hard to imagine the likes of Elbow turning in something quite as fierce and paranoid as "House of Mirrors", a fuzz-soaked stomper punctuated by jarring, bump-in-the-night sound effects. For a band whose Allmusic.com descriptor list includes the terms "earnest," "reflective," and "lush," Doves are just as effective at being aggressive, to the point where Kingdom of Rust's serene turns feel more listless than usual: the dark, orchestral manoeuvre "Birds Flew Backwards" exposes the limitations of Goodwin's haggard voice, while "Spellbound" feels like an echo of previous capsized lullabies like "Sea Song".. But then some tricks are worth repeating: Doves' most enduring and admirable quality-- from 2000's "The Cedar Room" to 2002's "There Goes the Fear" to 2005's "Black and White Town"-- has been their ability to render everyday urbanity in joyful, fantastical form, and to this canon we can add Kingdom of Rust's "Winter Hill", a paean to innocent, hand-held romance sent skyward on a pillow of Spiritualized swirls. It's just the sort of song that should earn Doves a return appearance to the UK top 10, but such an accomplishment is ultimately a moot point for these guys: They don't need high chart placements to make them feel like they're on top of the world.

The Doves - Kingdom Of Rust. The First Review Of The New Album John Doran, March 12th, 2009 08:35 John Doran travelled up to the Doves' rehearsal rooms at the foot of the Peak District to listen to their new album. His verdict: easily the best yet. 'Jetstream' Skittering post punk hi-hats run through the spine of the opening track to Doves fourth album. Melancholy (a word you are perhaps expecting) and epic (yet another) strings then give way to a very techno (aha! Caught you out!) influenced, staccato bass line which in turn marshals the drums into very tight patterns. Laser-flashes of piano refrains and organ trills propel you through a stop start motion film of a city at night, it is unsurprising to learn that they’ve been listening to a lot of techno given Jimi Goodwin (bass, vocals), Andy Williams (drums) and Jez Williams (guitar) past in Hacienda house sorts Sub Sub. A stunning opener. 'Kingdom Of Rust' Already abundantly familiar to the good listeners of Radios 1,2 and 6 no doubt. This is more recognizably Doves-y than most of the other tracks on an album that makes an asset of its eclecticism. This re-imagines US folk rock as something peculiarly English, and North Western English at that. Mancana rather than Americana perhaps. 'The Outsiders' A bracingly stern intro. And if the title refers to the band suffering from existential angst while recording this album, the first since Some Cities in 2005, then the music is suitably angst ridden and tempestuous. Jez and Jimi have coaxed a fearsomely fat and aqueous (almost fecal) guitar n’bass squelch out of their overdriven instruments. Of course the song could just be about getting locked out of The Barn, their new studio which is deep in the Cheshire countryside under the shadow of Jodrell Bank and the nearby Peak District. 'Winter Hill' Super producer John Leckie has a fearsome track record that includes The Verve’s Storm In Heaven, the Stone Roses debut, Radiohead’s The Bends and This Nation’s Saving Grace by The Fall. He was drafted in to work on two of the songs here including this one; one of the best tracks which summons up the mighty spirit of imperial Spiritualized during their acid house played on guitars, Electric Mainline phase. '10.03' Another effort with John Leckie, this has a plaintive and emotion saturated ballad that calls to mind the sumptuous pomp of Elbow. Perhaps there is a particularly epic, cagoule wearing ghost haunting the warehouse that Moolah Rouge, the studio the band practise in and where Guy Garvey’s troupe record, wandering down corridors with its head under its arm making sure that all the charges produce suitably windswept tunes. That would make it a Ca-ghoul, I guess. I’m here all week, etc. Then it transforms into a rocker than has big, super simian, destructive King Kong balls. Or possibly even big insectile furry Mothra balls. 'The Great Denier' This album is a lot more schizoid obviously because the band want it to be given that they demoed 40 songs this time instead of whittling it down from 14 or so. The inclusion of people like Dan Austen as co-producer obviously helps, given that he’s part of the Massive Attack team. This isn’t, it should be said a cover or an interpolation, of ‘The Great Pretender’ as en-fame-orized by the late great Freddie Mercury. 'Birds Flew Backwards' This features, apparently, a delruba a close relative of the esraj, an Indian instrument that, in the broadest terms, is like a cross between a sitar and a cello. I was so awed by this information that I forgot to make any more notes about what the song sounded like but now would be a good point to say that this is almost certainly the best Doves album so far. Some bands don’t do ‘eclectic’ well but Jimi’s voice is so distinctive and the Doves’ aesthetic so strong that no matter what style they attempt it sounds like The Doves anyway. 'Spellbound' This is not a cover of the excellent Siouxsie and the Banshees song (which always sounds better if you sing “eggbound” along to it). Instead this is the other song on the album which would sit comfortably on The Last Broadcast or Lost Souls. In its Doves-ishness, its Dovesiosity, its Dovesociousness it stil holds up a massive example to bands like Coldplay and U2. This is how stadium sized, atmospheric rock can still sound interesting and unifying without being over compressed or over produced. 'Compulsion' DFA, ESG, LCD and other three letter acronyms spring to mind with this track’s dancefloor orientated punk funk/disco punk vibe. Mutant disco wins out over all the other influences here though and there are massive Arthur Russell echo chambers and squelchy Was Not Was bass work. Jez sings here and it has to be said that his register suits the sleek, lighter dancefloor vibe. 'House Of Mirrors' This takes the last hurrah by the Rolling Stones, ‘Undercover Of The Night’ with a swampy blues rock vibe being pulled through a post punk process, as the jumping off point. 'Lifelines' Doves are often (unfairly) lumped in with the lumpen, lachrymose and punchable likes of Snow Patrol and Coldplay and this is perhaps the closest in form and process to piano-led, IKEA furnished, mope rock but even here there is enough going on to render the comparison unfair even after only one listen.

The new album is incredible....very eclectic. Probably their masterpiece.

Kingdom Of Rust Video Beautifully shot and really really sad. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS9KDL4hy34]YouTube - Doves - Kingdom of Rust Official Video[/ame]

Lost Souls is a Dark, Smoky, dead of night album. Last Broadcast is Epic, uplifting and shiny and singalong. Some Cities is Rougher , Rockier and with a massive Motown influence. Tbh they are all brilliant albums.

http://thabombshelter.blogspot.com/2009/01/jetstream-doves.html It's on this blog..

I have to say I'm stunned that there is so little interest in this considering the amount of duff band threads on this forum. Is this place mostly full of teenage girls or something?

Doves - Kingdom Of Rust Just been sent this... The new track is awsome. FREE EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD ‘JETSTREAM’ AVAILABLE FROM http://www.doves.net FOR 2 WEEKS. Doves release their eagerly anticipated 4th studio album, Kingdom of Rust 6th April 2009, which is to be preceded by the single Kingdom Of Rust on 30th March, both on Heavenly Recordings. It's been a long time between drinks for Doves, four years in fact since their last broadcast ‘Some Cities’ flew to the top of the charts. Some feared they had flown the nest permanently. Thankfully, that was never going to be the case, and now they’re back to attest all the fans, writers, DJs and pundits that have been restlessly awaiting new material since February 2005. That Album is ‘Kingdom of Rust’ -- an album that is the Doves most sonically adventurous, intimate, cerebral, propulsive and most eclectic record to date. Indeed, the blogasphere has been buzzing of late with speculation and anticipation of the Mancunion trio’s return, this conjecture reached fever pitch last week when, during their first interview with the NME (in which Kingdom Of Rust was declared as 1 of the 10 most important Albums of 2009), they announced that they have been recording their follow up for the past 18 months, having ensconced themselves to a farm house–come-studio in backwaters of Cheshire. In doing so 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 Doves worked with ace producer John Leckie (Stone Roses, Radiohead) to record 10.03 and Winter Hill. Furthermore, to herald this announcement, not to mention the return of one of the UK’s most loved bands, Doves are giving away an exclusive track from Kingdom of Rust available to download now from http://www.doves.net for a two week period. That track is ‘Jetstream’, a stomping Doves classic in waiting. Fitted with a propulsive krautrock motorik, it inherits the bands dance DNA from their former Sub Sub extraction. It is with a searing intensity and the kind of brooding melancholic refrain that has become the Doves trademark that Jetstream blazes the trail for a new a new direction while simultaneously bearing all the hallmarks of an all time Doves classic. The album ‘Kingdom Of Rust’ is released 6th April 2009 preceded by the single ‘Kingdom Of Rust’ on 30th March. TRACKLISTING – KINGDOM OF RUST 1. Jetstream 2. Kingdom of Rust 3. The Outsiders 4.
