I’m just going to come right out and say it: Doves can do no wrong by me. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of their records, each one well crafted and beautifully recorded. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time picking apart their distinctive sound, unlearning what I already know about mainstream music and having the Doves slowly reteach it all to me. They have spent weeks on my play-list and because of that I’m known to drive co-workers to the point of wanting to suffocate me in my sleep. With that being said, check out their new record, Kingdom of Rust, and the incredible video for the title track below. You’ll love it if you like all things Elbow, Radiohead, Awesome and Longwave.

HOLY SHIT

Do yourself a favor and stream the new Elbow record, The Seldom Seen Kid, on IMEEM.com. The fine UK gents were responsible for making one of the finest records ever made (Cast Of Thousands), so anything they now do needs to be taken SERIOUSLY. Serious. After a few listens of The Seldom Seen Kid, I’ve noticed that Elbow has tipped their hat even harder to the likes of Talk Talk and Peter Gabriel… this is a good thing. Anyway, go listen to it. Also, I decided that the uglier the band is, the better they are. These guys are way ugly and their shit RULES.
