A melodic and mellow success from Windmills, “As You Like It” enamors with its breezy escalation into the “fade into black,” hookiness — strutting a charming immersion with shades of Phoenix and Vampire Weekend. “Throw me a lifeline, I’m sinking in real time,” the Canadian artist sings, complemented by twinkling momentum amidst the bouncy bass. “I’m re-casting myself,” continues a seeming sense of renewal, as the bursting “fade into black,” reprisal proves replay-inducing.
2011 marked the beginning of Windmills’ music creations, leading to tours across North America at multiple music festivals and other venues. 2022 full-length what need is there to weep? drew considerable acclaim, and now Windmills is in the midst of releasing one song each month for the remainder of 2024, via Sounds Suspicious. “As You Like It” is a continuation of high-quality melodic songwriting and production from Windmills.
