As a companion piece to their latest full-length Giving Up The Ghost, Windsor For The Derby offer up this
limited edition 12”. The A-Side features Anticon Record’s man of the hour, odd nosdam (cLOUDDEAD)
producing a stellar remix of WFTD's lead-off single “Empathy For People Unknown”. On the B-Side we find
an outtake from the Ghost sessions in the form of a cover of the classic Swell Maps cut “Gunboats.” Yeah,
Windsor For The Derby was spinning this seminal band's reissues (released last year on Secretly Canadian) as
they recorded their new album. Many parallels can be drawn between the two bands - both Swell Maps and
WFTD are ruthlessly experimental with their craft and refuse to be pigeonholed. While WFTD began ten years
ago as forerunners in the Texas minimalist non-explosion, they've since moved beyond the drone into deeper
waters, and with “Gunboats” we find them right at home amidst a sprawling piece of feedback, hushed vocals,
and never losing sight of the melody.
