'"Winter Hill"' is the second single from Doves' fourth studio album 'Kingdom of Rust'. The single was released on 20 July 2009 via Heavenly Records. The song is one of three songs recorded during the album sessions produced by John Leckie (the other two being album track "10:03" and B-side "Push Me On"). The radio edit of "Winter Hill" features a new mix by David Bascombe. In a track-by-track discussion with 'NME', Doves said that the song is about Winter Hill near Bolton, and that the track had been "hanging around since 'Lost Souls' but we've not worked on it before...it just kept knocking on our door."NME, 11 April 2009 issue, page 9 "Winter Hill" was released as a limited edition 7" vinyl single, with the exclusive new "Dylanesque"[http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=475419 Doves Winter Hill UK 7" RECORD eil.com] B-side "Brazil." Three limited edition 12" singles or two separate digital download-only sets feature exclusive remixes of "Jetstream" and "Compulsion" by Sasha, Hans-Peter Lindstrm, and Andrew Weatherall.
