What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

You'd be forgiven for mistaking Windmill for The Flaming Lips however I can't forgive them for sounding like The Flaming Lips. Emotional indie pop gear. The vocal is straight outta Sesame Street. LP with CD to follow on Melodic. We still have some copies of their 7" on Static Caravan too..

What the label says:

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.
LP limited to 500 only

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.

'Seriously, it was an Abba carrier bag.'
