Coming across like the bastard son of Doseone and the Arcade
Fire, this is magnificent indie rock as imagined by someone
with very little scope. In the same way that the Arcade Fire
were so epic, Windmill is. well, homebrewed. I'm not saying
this in a condescending way though, Matthew Thomas Dillon
makes music in his bedroom which many great American producers
would go running to the hills on hearing, the small scale
grandeur is almost it's most endearing quality. What might
start with a simply struck piano lead will quickly evolve into
a pseudo-gigantic indie monster complete with huge drums and
soaring effects, reminiscent of Mercury Rev or the Flaming
Lips just for starters. The detuned singing and 'bar room'
vibe is perfectly endearing and is indicative I hope of this
young man's future recording career. Strange and beautiful.
