　　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 country’s best singer-songwriters, his music a heady distillation of US indie, early ‘70s melancholia and twisted folk-pop. Born and raised in Newport Pagnell, Dillon’s music has always been his escape. Puddle City Racing Lights may be his first ‘proper’ release, but it follows countless homemade albums recorded on a £140 four track and intended for only him and a few close friends to listen to.
　　‘I used to make demos in my bedroom, my bed covered in keyboards,’ says Dillon. ‘I would imagine what kind of record I would be able to make with an acoustic piano, real strings, real drums and a studio… and earlier this year I got to do it.’
　　The resulting album is a pivotal part of Windmill’s blossoming. Making his stage debut as recently as 2005, Dillon has made a great leap in a short space of time, producing an astonishingly good debut album within two years of that tentative first step into the public domain. Echoing the greats of US indie – Built To Spill, Guided By Voices, Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips – and the stars of the Canadian scene, Arcade Fire, Puddle City Racing Lights is a record that demands repeat plays. And this accomplished debut is completely the vision of one man.
　　‘I have such a clear image in my mind about how Windmill songs should be and I had concerns about getting other people involved,” he says. “This was literally the first time that anyone other than myself would be involved in making my music.’
　　It was, he says, a scary prospect, but one made easier by a crack team of musicians (members of The Earlies’ live band 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.
　　‘Tom and I built up a lot of creative trust from the beginning, which was really important,’ says Matthew. ‘He also tolerated me when I was bouncing off the walls.’
　　Dillon himself provides the album’s key instrument, the piano. ‘I was determined to make a piano album,' he says. `It’s the instrument I have always been connected to. I used to buy records and skip through the tracks until a killer piano riff kicked in. Piano, huge drums and finding a different way of saying things – that’s Windmill to me.'

披着雨衣的巫师在星星和迷雾之间飞行。
Sae。(房子流了一地的水。)

标题是整张音乐听下来的感觉。其实觉得他的声音和ant或是chris Garneau，还有arco和james blunt的都有相似。只是更奇怪，更不正常。听他一会儿抒情，舒缓，一会儿轻盈放纵。一会儿交情压抑。似乎偶尔会高兴地扭动起来，偶尔会不以为然地撅一撅嘴。声音就是他躲避雷电和暴风的雨衣，是他发泄情绪...... (3回应)

07必听, 真的, 不骗你~
康生呼叫湘琪(who's that geezer?)

http://www.windmillmusic.co.uk/ 一直搞不清楚惊艳这个词用在男声上怎么才算合适, 毕竟声音不象图象那么直观, 衡量标准也不该一样, 比如视觉上绝对算的上惊艳的glam-rocker们, 论起声音来就稀松平常了, 直到今天听到了windmill这张首砖, 惊艳感悄没声息的就来了, 猝不...... (7回应)

雨天
保护羊

上个雨天，在某大厦的厅里等人。进来两个西装革履的，其中一个骄傲地对另一个说：“这场雨下得好像我们成都的喔~~”我怔了一下，因为这句话正是自己打算呆会儿跟朋友说的。去年丢了两把簇新的伞，让我痛心疾首的不是它们的不告而别，而是它们跟我混到皮肤起了褶子，却连一场雨都没见过呢。有时候呀，禁不住质疑自己，为什么要到北京这...... (6回应)

掐死一只鸡！
kensy

终于相信豆瓣一次，“豆瓣猜你会喜欢”推荐的，再加上图片很适合我CHANNEL，下来听了，算猜对了吧，不反感。挣扎又滑腻的声音~古怪又稚嫩听久了有想掐死他的冲动，对了，没错，他的声音仿佛就是给人掐着脖子时发出的~~ 有点神经质，有点病态，有点杀鸡般的叫声，有点便密~~有点喜欢！应该不是特意嘶叫，大概...... (2回应)

孤独的故事
Why sadness Y(头顶多大的光环，心藏多深的黑洞)

一个人弹着钢琴，同时幻想出若干提琴声部一个人在雨中摇曳，同时在脑海中的鼓机里编写着各种变奏一个人在城市里游荡怀揣一颗蓝色的心，在红灯下前行，在绿灯下止步 windmill，一张苍白的脸，一个孤独的耳机一副扭曲的嗓音音，诉说着自己的故事，寻求孤独的伙伴...... (2回应)

在回忆之前心生怀恋
lucifarnan(情不知所起，一往而深。)

Mr.，今天外面愁雾重重。我在整理硬盘的时候发现电驴的文件夹里还有下好了却未听的专辑，却没有对这张专辑有分毫印象。拾出来听，第一声就被惊艳，又是心脏被拧紧一般的，不是疼痛，而是荒凉，连表达都显得无能为力，然后听见Windmill的声音，我想你一定也不会讨厌这个怪怪的声音。他的声音像面镜子，我看见了自己的模样...... (1回应)

聆听完整的Windmill。聆听喧嚣背后的孤独。
cocoo7ooo.H(懒，，)

VeryCD维护服务器的日子里没得下载，于是拾起朋友传来的音乐一张张听。接触Windmill的是个阴天，没有太阳。大风在教室外长势喜人的木樨属植物的枝叶间竞速，叶片豆绿色的正面与灰蒙蒙的背面翻转交互，追逐着蔓延开去。虽然并没有像专辑惊艳的封面上一样有着大雨滂沱，但仍不失为一个应景的好天气。第一首...... (2回应)

精巧与壮阔。
Elfin(世界太美好了，舍不得死了。)

Windmill今年的这张处女大碟和专辑的封面一样令人惊艳，同样惊艳的还有男主音Matthew Thomas Dillon病态般的肉嗓，让人不免想起了诸如Mercury Rev的Jonathan Donahue，Suede的Brett Anderson那种撩人的阴阳怪气。Windmill的成功在于他实在太适合用钢琴和鼓......

激烈又安宁
Tangerine(sink or swim)

刚听完一张light-hearted的indie唱片，然后跳到这张，脑子为之一振。很沉很重的配乐中，这个尖锐的声音没有被淹没，反而穿云裂帛。如果是一般的正常的声音，恐怕早已被配乐掩盖，沉闷地退去。而我听到的嗓音不算ear-friendly，却很惊奇地融合在沉重的鼓声和孤独的钢琴声中，并跳脱出来，呈现出一种很神经...... (3回应)

冻凌的音乐
色猪

在空旷又有些噪杂的环境中听这种音乐他冻凌了你的心灵如冰鉴穿透你的胸怀让你从前凑开始就感觉到莫名的冰冷但是随着节奏的渐进热浪渐渐涌出心身不知不觉中随着音乐运动起来啊轻轻松松的感觉作者人不觉中就被其感染很喜欢最后说一声在搜索有关这本专辑的信息时发现了一个很又意思的浏览器呵呵 http://......
