Windows was founded in 2018 by Matteo Arias (Mystic Braves/Golden Animals) and Spencer Alarcon, joined later by Australian bassist Sam Wotherspoon. Windows' sound consists of old California country, classic surf rock, and West Coast psychedelia. In February of 2019 the band released their first single “The Ballad Of Whiskey Pete”. Later that year, the band added Mystic Braves front-man Julian Ducatenzeiler and producer Ian Doer to the lineup.
