Windows is a Los Angeles–based country-psych band founded in 2018 by musician Matteo Arias.
History Windows was founded as a bedroom recording project in 2018 by Matteo Arias. He was soon joined Spencer Alarcon, and later by Australian bassist Sam Wotherspoon. Windows' sound consists of old California country, classic surf rock, and West Coast psychedelia. In February 2019, the band released their first single, "The Ballad of Whiskey Pete". In 2020, the band planned to release their debut LP, but in light of the COVID-19 outbreak decided to instead write and record two singles remotely while locked down in quarantine. The singles were independently released on July 2. After the pandemic, Arias began work on a new music with a new line up including some members of his former band Golden Animals. In February 2023, the band released their first two studio singles—"High Sierra Lows" and "Long-While". Later that same year the band released two additional singles—"Fernwood Ave." and "Upstairs". In March 2024, the band released their debut EP Raindrops on the Open Road, recorded at Fonogenic Studios in Van Nuys, California and produced and engineered by Arias' friend Rocco Guarino. In 2024 the band started recording their second major release with friend and producer Tyler Fogerty, son of American musician John Fogerty.
