The band are set to release their fourth studio album, 'Kingdom of Rust' on Monday 6th April 2009, which is to be preceded by the title track as a single on Monday 30th March, both on Heavenly Recordings.

The Mancunion trio's return will be herald by the band giving away an exclusive track from 'Kingdom of Rust' available to download now from www.doves.net for a two week period. The track is 'Jetstream', which gives some hint as to the new direction of the band.
