Have to admit… I don’t really associate Doves’ nourishing and heartwarming yet oft melancholy tunes with extreme cycling. But the band clearly does, and who are we to protest!?

The second single from Kingdom of Rust is Winter Hill, and the clip features a masked cyclist (You Tube video star Danny MacAskill) using the inner urbs of Britain as a pretty nifty trail park. Can’t help but draw the the obvious parallels with a certain recent JET video.

Get along to Doves’ Splendour sideshows around the country (& wish me a happy bday if you’re at the Sydney show)… they’re pretty special.
