Kingdom of Rust

Doves

A cinematic blend of northern grit and atmospheric rock. Recorded in a barn, it sounds like rain-slicked motorways and the heavy beauty of industrial decay.

April 3, 2009 · Heavenly

Find on Amazon

A panoramic and deeply atmospheric exploration of melancholy that feels both grounded in the earth and lost in the stars.
