Windsor for the Derby are a study in dualities. It is made of two primary band members preserving not only a
musical identity but a friendship over many years and many miles. Creating music that is equal parts dance and-
folk, a truly disparate combination of styles that come out sounding completely organic. While listening to
"Giving Up The Ghost", you hear not only the beautiful stylistic tension of two styles at play, but also the room
and atmosphere itself. Windsor's music has always been a play on modern pop, infused with giant amounts of
space, a space that both reflected the physical distance between its members as well as providing an artistic
counterpoint to the massive inundation of noise and data that our society is bombarded with daily.

The past eleven years have seen Windsor For The Derby reach across the country and make the long distance
relationship somehow work. With founding members Jason McNeely in Austin, TX and Dan Matz in various
locales along the east coast, WFTD always seemed more a "project" than a band. Last summer both found
themselves living in the same city as they both relocated to Philadelphia. In the past WFTD had to rely on their
semi-annual meetings to conduct their business, but now they are regularly playing live shows and prolifically
recording in their home studio.

The live shows have become something different for Windsor. The line-up additions of Anna Neighbor (keys/
bass) and Charlie Hall (drummer) created a much less clinical and prescribed live experience, morphing into a
much more bombastic yet centered happening. A happening that is truly captured on "Giving up the Ghost."

The songs of "Giving Up The Ghost" find influence in sources as distinctly diverse as Italian horror films to
Civil War death notices while maintaining a foothold in the most base elements of the modern human condition-
- disappointment, breakup, heartache, and the trials and tribulations of creating art in an increasingly stringent
cultural climate.
