DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Obviously, being big fans of the primary bands that the members of WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN do time in (ISIS, RED SPAROWES, ANODYNE, and 27), we were all
pretty excited when we heard about this new release, the fruit of some sort of studio project that was recorded in 2003 and is only now seeing the light of
day. Not really sure what we were expecting, but comparisons were being made to EARTH and SUNN O))) in advance descriptions, so it certainly posed to be
interesting. We were pretty surprised, however, when we finally picked this up, and discovered it to be an awesome, crushing, eclectic shoegazer/drone/hypno
sludge epic! Mostly instrumental save for some washes of angelic layered vocals, WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN serves up a diverse collection of tracks, all
untitled, which vacillate between repetitious, heavy, post-rock informed drone metal that's similiar to the more melodic, rhythmic EARTH material, and
effects-heavy slug trails of Creation Records-style shoegazer dreaminess. It's all heavy on the melodies, and there's also fantastic use of electronics
throughout the album that suggests comparisons to SIGUR ROS. The album closes on a slab of beautiful, triumphant guitar-drone that is the catchiest thing
that EARTH never recorded. For anyone that's been hoping for a band to fill the void between ISIS' titanic constructs and the dirge/pop/sludge of JESU and
FLOOR, this album is for you. Accompanied by excellent mottled visuals by Sera Timms.
