That Was The Month That Was

June was the month that… I totally neglected this blog. Must try harder.

Windmill

Newport Pagnell is best known for its service station, parchment, and at a push a very old Iron bridge. That’s set to change as Pagnell is the unlikely home of Matthew Thomas Dillon who under the guise of “Windmill” has released a contender for album of the year.

“Puddle City Racing Lights” took a while to burrow itself into my skull, but over the last couple of months its gradually become my most played by far.

I’ll describe it a bit more soon but I have to dash so I’ll leave you with an MP3, and a Youtube of the breathtakingly good new single “Fit” – Buy both now :).

Listen:

Windmill – “Replace Me” (MP3)

Buy:

“Puddle City Racing Lights” – Buy it immediately from Amazon or the album and the last single from Piccadilly.

Glastonbury
