The Doves’ latest streaming on MySpace today.


MySpace has be come the place to debut new material, and it’s not uncommon for artists to stream their forthcoming albums in full on MySpace leading up to the album’s release date. Usually it’s a redundant maneuver as new releases tend to leak weeks early, but for those who don’t have the time or patience to track down the leaks, this handy marketing practice offers an easy way of previewing the album before making a firm commitment to buy or not to buy.

Today’s streaming album is the Doves‘ fourth and latest, Kingdom of Rust (out tomorrow on Astralwerks). I’ve only heard the first minute and it sounds pretty interesting, psychedelic tastiness.
