Windows is a Los Angeles–based country-psych band founded in 2018 by Matteo Arias[1] former bass player of Golden Animals.
History
Windows was founded as a bedroom recording project in 2018 by Matteo Arias.[2][3] 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.[4] In February 2019 the band released their first single "The Ballad Of Whiskey Pete".[5] 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.[6][7] The singles were self released on July 2.[8][9] Post pandemic Arias began work on a new music with a new line up including some members of his former band Golden Animals. In February of 2023 the band released their first two studio singles "High Sierra Lows" & "Long-While".[10][11][12][13][14] Later that same year the band released two additional singles "Fernwood Ave."[15][16] & "Upstairs".[17][18]
