WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA- 

“… While the name ‘Windows’ might have been unfamiliar to me, clearly I was in the minority. This Los Angeles-based band opening for Annabelle Chairlegs had a healthy contingent of friends in the room, and surely added a few more fans to their base by their performances end.

From the outset, it was clear that categorizing Windows as a simple country-psych band (that’s what their Wiki page states) wouldn’t do justice to their rich, multi-layered sound. Fronted by the talented Matteo Arias, the former bass player for Golden Animals, Windows presented a symphony of old California country, nostalgic surf rock, and intense West Coast psychedelia. Even as someone with virgin ears to their tunes, I couldn’t help but notice the overtones that felt more psych than country, a delightful twist to their proclaimed genre.

I’ve got a bit more digging to really get into their repertoire, but what I did hear was delightful and demonstrated the band’s musical creativity with their rich tapestry of musical influences. It felt, and sounded, like a journey through California’s diverse musical landscape. While it was my first time listening to them, I feel certain that it won’t be my last…”
