Puddle City Racing Lights
Melodic
INDIE
You might not know his name yet, but you soon will. WINDMILL (aka 26-year old Matthew Thomas Dillon) is emerging as one of the UK’s best singer-songwriters, his music a heady distillation of US indie, early ‘70s piano-lead melancholia and folk-pop.
After numerous homemade albums made for himself and close friends, he took his unique brand of euphoric introspection into the studio with a crack team of musicians (including members of THE EARLIES and former ALFIE member Ian Smith) and co-producer, TOM KNOTT. Together, they whipped up a storm of lush strings, clashing percussion and cacophonous vocals.
Echoing the greats of US indie - BUILT TO SPILL, GUIDED BY VOICES, MERCURY REV, FLAMING LIPS, BRIGHT EYES, ELLIOTT SMITH and Canadian stars, ARCADE FIRE - ‘Puddle City Racing Lights’ is a record that will stick in your ear and your heart.
We have fallen in love with this record at the Inertia office, and it seems we’re not alone. Just look at some of the incredible press it has already received: DROWNED IN SOUND “Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the first truly great record of 2007. Combining the plinkyplonk pianos + bombast drums of BEN FOLDS FIVE, the melancholia of NEIL YOUNG and nourishing production of Arcade Fire, ‘Puddle City Racing Lights’ is a timeless album ripe for building your life around. 9.9/10” … COMFORTCOMES.COM "The Mercury people should make a note because their will be no better British album this year - 10/10 ." … LUNAPARK6.COM "...has the potential of becoming the soundtrack to your life. 9/10" … FLUX "Don’t be fooled into thinking that a finer album will be released this year. This one man genius hails from Newport Pagnell, and this, his debut album is a mesmerising, multi-layered work to be studied. Each track builds to an Arcade Fire-esque melodic orgasm. This is deriously addictive with every track a winner." … GIGWISE. COM "...sees Dillon exercising his penchant for a ‘killer piano riff’ and ends with his heartstopping wail. It’s an album that can in parts make you get up and jump around the room like a complete lunatic and stop you in your tracks the next.
