Windows with The Candies

Windows is a Los Angeles–based country-psych band founded in 2018 by Matteo Arias, former bassist of Golden Animals. Blending classic California country, surf rock, and West Coast psychedelia through a distinct Mexican-American lens, their music reflects a deep connection to heritage and place.

They debuted in 2019 with The Ballad of Whiskey Pete and continued releasing music throughout the pandemic. In 2024, they dropped their debut EP Raindrops on the Open Road and made festival appearances including Austin Psych Fest and Freakout Fest. The band recently released the single Light in the Dark (July 2025) and is currently recording their first full-length album with producer Tyler Fogerty.
