Windian (2015)
With its sixth record, the Windian Singles Series #3 box set really goes out with a bang. As with everyone in this series, this is my first time hearing John Wesley Coleman III and once again, I like what I hear. Although I had heard of him before, this is my first time actually listening to any of his music. Windian has done a pretty tremendous job gathering all of these bands together. While they all bring completely different things to the table, they also have a cohesive enough sound that it makes perfect sense to have them all in the same set.
The first band that comes to mind when I put on this Coleman 7" is W.H. Walker. A side "I Feel Like A Sad Clown" is a bass driven party song. Despite feeling like a sad clown, Coleman manages to really bring a ton of energy into this bouncy, catchy track.
B side "I Found A Home" is a bit more straightforward, but still every bit as fun and exciting as the flip side. With its lead keyboard line and howling chorus, I can't help but be impressed by this record. It's pretty remarkable that Windian gathered all of these great bands together. Rest assured I will likely be buying additional records by almost every single one of them in the future. Well, provided they put out more records. I've got some digging around to so.
