Picked this up in Taipei's eslite bookstore, which is a real awesome place. They have dedicated reviewers coming up with short descriptions of the records they like, I thought that was quite quaint. And very helpful in this case, because I've hardly heard Windsor for the Derby before this. I think the Chinese description likened them to LCD Soundsystem without guitars, which i found to be ratherr... inaccurate. Haha, so much for helpful descriptions. In reality, Windsor for the Derby, based on this album, which is supposed to be a focusing of the band's ambient, lush sound, is a lot more like Kings of Convenience. The track 'Empathy for People Unknown' is really representative of this, there's that slightly twee sound with hushed, hollow beats in the background. I quite like them, really, I'm going to be looking for 'We Fight Till Death' by them next.
Tracks to note: Empathy for People Unknown, Give Up, Every Word You Said
