Doves release their eagerly anticipated 4th studio album, 'Kingdom of Rust' on 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 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 on 6th April 2009 preceded by the single ‘Kingdom Of Rust’ on 30th March.

Man I hope they can recapture the genius of Lost Souls.

I doubt it though.

For me their albums have steadily reduced in quality. Not that they are bad, but 'Lost Souls' has been in my top 5 albums of all time since it's release. It's a classic.
