  • We Say...

    Indie reference points abound listening to Windmill's Puddle City Racing Lights. Dan Bejar (Destroyer)'s nasally lilt, Arcade Fire's stomping, grandiose balladry, the orchestrated folk-pop of Sufjan Stevens: mix 'em all up and you'll come – ever so close – to summing up the sound of Puddle City. There is a blatant melodrama in Windmill main man Matthew Thomas Dillon's delivery. He chirpes and croones like Tantalus: constantly straining, reaching for that elusive answer that's just slightly unattainable. The album is full of soaring, Brit-poppy gems — start with "Florescent Lights" and the anthemic album-opener "Tokyo Moon."
