Which song have you listened to more than any other this year?
Band Doves
Song Kingdom of Rust
Who are they? Scruffy Mancunian miserabilists who construct vast soundscapes. They've successfully avoided megastardom by radiating all the charisma of disconsolate emergency plumbers.
It sounds like being carried high above the industrial wasteland of central Lancashire and then deposited in the ruins of a cotton mill. You sit surrounded by obscene graffiti, hypodermic needles, and the emotional detritus of your last six love affairs. The sound of Hank Williams Jr wafts improbably from a distant radio.
Sample lyrics
Blackbirds they flew ahead
Into the cooling towers
I packed my bags fast
Thinking of one of those hours
With you
Buy it if you like indie which isn't concocted in a bedroom on a Squier Stratocaster by a teenager with a copy of Noel Gallagher's Ten Greatest Riffs.
Don't buy it if you just can't control your feet
