2008, Friendly Fire Recordings
A heady distillation of US indie (think Built To Spill, Guided By Voices, Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips), early '70s melancholia and twisted folk-pop, Windmill's ' Puddle City Racing Lights is an accomplished debut album and completely the vision of one man. Born and raised in a small town in Southern England and now residing in London, Matthew Thomas Dillon possess a distinctive voice that sounds like Neil Young on a helium comedown and his lyrics speak to the detritus of modern life: airport lounges, plastic chairs, fluorescent lights. Dillon produces songs that swell with bruised emotions, fragile melodies and bombastic orchestration.
