Windsor Drive: Wanderlust


Windsor Drive brings the ’80s back with flair on their new album Wanderlust. While the band’s music has shades of old school grooves, it’s presented in an updated form infused with pop rhythms amidst Kipp Wilde’s smooth vocals.

The band tucks in small pockets of wisdom throughout their dancey tunes. Wilde has described “Sleepwalking†as a song addressing the issue of people stuck in an unfulfilled state, unable to “pursue the dreams that they held so dear.†Every aspect of the music is carefully crafted to create the ultimate listening experience. “Impossibly†throws out memorable one-liners like “Let me be your overnight sensation,†and builds on that with psychedelic harmonies. The strong synth lines are enhanced by funk rhythms from the guitar.

Dynamic music that hits on tough issues is hard to find, but Windsor Drive steps up to the plate and knocks it out of the park. If the overwhelming urge to dance doesn’t ignite an interest in this music, then the lyrics will certainly hit a chord.
