Windsor for the Derby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Windsor for the Derby are a post-rock outfit based out of Austin, Texas, whose members are originally from Tampa, Florida.

Their debut album was released in 1996 on Trance Syndicate, and was produced by Adam Witzie, who then joined the group after the release of the album. In 1999 they released a full length record, Difference and Repetition on Michael Gira's Young God Records, including a seven inch on Western Vinyl. A collection of B-sides entitled Earnest Powers followed in 2002, after some lineup changes. Bandmembers McNeely and Matz then moved to Philadelphia, eventually signing to Secretly Canadian, where they have released their last several albums.

Their 2004 song 'The Melody of a Fallen Tree' appeared in Sofia Coppola's Marie-Antoinette (2006 film).
