"Winter Hill"
Song
B-side"Brazil"

"Winter Hill" is the second single from Doves' fourth studio album Kingdom of Rust. The single was released on July 20, 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 Manchester, 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."[1] "Winter Hill" was released as a limited edition 7" vinyl single, with the exclusive new "Dylanesque"[2] 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 Lindstrøm, and Andrew Weatherall.

The music video for "Winter Hill" premiered on June 10, 2009, and features stunt cyclist Danny MacAskill.[3] The video was produced by Pulse Films and directed by David Mould, who previously directed the video for Doves' 2002 single "Caught by the River."
