  • Kingdom of Rust is the fourth studio album from Manchester-based indie rock band Doves. The album was released on April 6, 2009 (2009-04-06) in the UK via Heavenly Records, and April 7, 2009 (2009-04-07) in the US via Astralwerks Records. Both Heavenly and Astralwerks issued the album on double heavyweight 12" vinyl (with the US pressing following two weeks after the CD release). A CD/DVD release of Kingdom of Rust, originally announced when promotion started for the album, was pulled by the label three weeks prior to the album's release. The album follows a four-year gap between their last album Some Cities in 2005. Kingdom of Rust entered the UK Albums Chart at #2. The album was preceded by first single "Kingdom of Rust" on March 30th. Doves also offered the album's lead track "Jetstream" as a free download on their website, starting from January 28, 2009. Regarding "Jetstream," the band mentioned being fans of the Vangelis score to Blade Runner, and wrote the song as "an imaginary song for the closing credits on Ridley Scott's classic. " The German band Kraftwerk was another stated influence for "Jetstream. " In an interview with the NME, the band said "House of Mirrors" is "about your past haunting you. " A documentary on the making of the album (produced by Soup Collective and directed by long-time Doves collaborator Matthew Norman), as well as a track-by-track discussion with Jimi and Andy, premiered exclusively on the official NME website in mid April 2009. According to a post on the band's official blog, the band recorded the album in a converted farmhouse barn in Cheshire, England. Producer John Leckie was set to co-produce the entire album with the band, but was unable due to previous commitments. Instead, Leckie produced two tracks from the album--"Winter Hill" and "10:03" (as well as the B-side "Push Me On")--and the band worked with Dan Austin on the remaining nine songs. Tom Rowlands of the electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers also provided the song arrangement for "10:03. " In promotion for the album, Doves appeared on Later... with Jools Holland on 14 April 2009, performing "Kingdom of Rust," "Winter Hill," and "10:03. " They later appeared on the American late-night talk shows Last Call with Carson Daly on 28 May 2009, which featured a pre-recorded video of the band performing "Kingdom of Rust" live at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on 16 May 2009, and then on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on 5 June 2009, performing "The Outsiders. " The album is dedicated to Jimi Goodwin's father, Francis James Goodwin, who died on 23 December 2008.
