Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Critics are already talking about this debut as mercury prize potential! Incredible songwriting in the spirit of flaming lips, arcade fire & mercury rev. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Love, May 4, 2008

By	A. Grant "alex '£50 grumpy' grant" (london) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Idiosyncratic, quirky and utterly beguiling. Once you get past Matt's unique vocals you will fall deeply and completely in love with the fabulous tunes and heartfelt nature of every song. Sometime joyous at other times heartbreaking. Something about this album just draws you in a sits like an immovable object deep in your brain. These song will definately be my soundtrack for the summer of 2008.

its like a mix between radiohead and the flaming lips. amazing. i dont know why its priced so high and only available as an import, but if you can get your hands on this, it is completely worth it.
