Album Description

This year Windsor For The Derby celebrates its tenth year with the release of its fifth full-length, We Fight Til Death. Over those ten years Dan Matz (newly relocated to Philadelphia) and Jason McNeely (from Austin) have managed to arduously maintain this project over many miles. Those years have seen many personnel changes and much help from their talented friends. Over the last few years, Timothy White and Ben Cissner have jumped on board to lend their invaluable assistance to WFTD and help create a solid quartet. We Fight Til Death finds WFTD in Bloomington with Dan Burton (Early Day Miners, Ativin) at the controls. This album was recorded and mixed over the last year at Grotto Home Studio with Burton and a few other locals sitting in. WFTD find a way to take each release to a wholly different trajectory while at the same time creating a progressive connection to the last. The skewed pop sensibilities of The Emotional Rescue are hinted at on We Fight Til Death, as well as the dark refrains of 1998's Minnie Greutzfeldt. By combining elements of previous releases and exploring new terrain, We Fight Til Death is Windsor For The Derby's most realized release to date.

5 out of 5 stars Melody of a Fallen Tree.......2005-02-26

From my BlogSpot site: "The Boy Reviewer"


We Fight Til Death, the latest release from Dan Matz (The Birdwatcher) and Jason McNeeley, is by far WFTD's most accessible work to date. The influence of Adam Wiltzie (Stars of the Lid, Bedhead), although he is absent from the current WFTD lineup, is still felt on this album. The opening track, "The Melody of a Fallen Tree," recalls an early Bedhead tooling around on top of the rhythm section from New Order's "Temptation." Anyone who has heard Bedhead's cover of "Disorder" can imagine this without taxing their imagination too much: just speed it up and add a melody. "For People Unknown" gives a nod to Can's "Mother Sky", but adds a certain emo feel to the oft-covered and oft-riffed tune. The organ on this track adds a nice dark touch. Imagine a ghostly couples-only song at a haunted high-school skate night, or any scene from Carnival of Lost Souls. "Black Coats" and "We Fight Til Death" are the most driving tracks on this album. Sombre, melancholy and raging at the same time, they represent a WFTD lineup that has found the right blend of rhythmic backbone and minor key introspection that have always been characteristics of WFTD, but rarely saw expression in the same track.
