DOVES Kingdom Of Rust (2009 UK 11-track 2-LP vinyl set - Doves return with the follow-up to 2005's 'Some Cities', 'Kingdom of Rust' is an album that is arguably Doves' most sonically adventurous, intimate, cerebral, rhythmic and most eclectic record to date. Take the first track on the album 'Jetstream', [previously available via their website], fitted with a kraut motorik, it's a Kraftwerk-kissed electro pearl. In contrast eponymous title track 'Kingdom Of Rust', is a broad stroke ofLancastrian spaghetti Western drama. Elsewhere 'Compulsion' sees Doves achieving a homage to the kind of wonky-leftfield disco that experiments that might have been played out at The Loft or the Paradise Factory in their 80s hey day, While, 'The Outsider' sounds like what may have happened had time allowed Chuck Berry to Jam with Joy Division. Include Tom Rowlands [Chemical Brothers] arranging '10.03', and anthems in waiting 'Winter Hill' and 'Greatest Denier', you have the most expansive and rhythmic Doves record to date.)
