How We Lost

windsor for the derby create music that is equal parts dance and folk, a truly disparate combination of styles that comes out sounding completely organic. "'how we lost' is actually a celebratory album. it's a reflective record and, in its own way, celebrates the windsor for the derby continuum that's been culled from their first release, 'calm hades float' in 1996 to their last, 'giving up the ghost' from 2005. each of these recordings is a sequel to the next both musically and in narrative, especially since the band found themselves in constant dialogue about their body of work and the paths they'd chosen due to the rerelease of their first two records calm hades float and minnie greutzfeldt. also a part of that ongoing dialogue were the records that the band found itself consistently re-visiting, swell maps, section 25, psychic tv and what it was that made those recordings timeless and resonate in a personal way to the band. the songs on how we lost is about the ways they've changed over the years, the things they hold onto and what's been left behind." - music direct
