...according to our Ant on 03 May 2007.
You might not know his name yet, but you soon will. Already being
hailed as the UK’s answer to Arcade Fire, Windmill - aka 26-year old
Matthew Thomas Dillon - is emerging as one of the country’s best
singer- songwriters, his music a heady distillation of US indie, early
’70s melancholia and twisted folk-pop.
Born and raised in Newport
Pagnell, Dillon’s music has always been his escape. ‘Puddle City Racing
Lights’ may be his first ’proper’ release, but it follows countless
homemade albums recorded on a £140 four track and intended for only him
and a few close friends to listen to.
Featuring members of The
Earlies, the resulting album is a pivotal part of Windmill’s
blossoming. Making his stage debut as recently as 2005, Dillon has made
a great leap in a short space of time, producing an astonishingly good
debut album within two years of that tentative first step into the
public domain.
Echoing the greats of US indie - Built To Spill,
Guided By Voices, Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips - and the stars of the
Canadian scene, Arcade Fire, Puddle City Racing Lights is a record that
demands repeat plays. And this accomplished debut is completely the
vision of one man.
