Album Reviews
For their fourth record in nine years, Doves deliver gorgeous, sonically adventurous tunes dappled with strings, droning guitars, Radiohead-ish atmospherics and singer Jimi Goodwin's longing tales of lonely train rides and missing the sunshine. Kingdom of Rust is wonderfully dolorous, but when Doves rev up the tempos on tracks like "The Outsiders," they show they're not a total pity party. Their good cheer isn't always convincing: "Compulsion" sounds like a bad cover of Blondie's "Rapture." But they get bonus points for re-creating the keyboard sound from Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle" on "Jetstream."
