Doves – “Kingdom Of Rust (Still Going Remix)”

Magnet launched a remix of the latest single from the UK’s Doves (a personal fav) Kingdom of Rust. I think this is a great song to start but the remix amps up the track a nitch with it’s great baseline. What do you think about it? How does the latest album compare to [...]
