The psych soul collective Windows has once again tapped into their signature blend of warmth and wanderlust with ‘’Light in the Dark’’, a single that feels like a postcard from an endless summer. Blending retro surf guitar tones, Latin infused rhythms, and gauzy dream pop textures, the track is both a nostalgic throwback and a vibrant step forward.
Fresh off a run of festival appearances and consistent spins on college radio, Windows show no signs of slowing down. This release not only cements their growing reputation but also sets the stage for their debut full length, produced by Tyler Fogerty, arriving later this year on Deli Records.
From its opening moments, ‘’Light in the Dark’’ casts a hypnotic spell. A smoky, psychedelic rock intro unfurls like the slow fade of daylight, instantly pulling listeners into its sun bleached atmosphere. The arrangement builds organically, layer upon layer of crisp and distorted guitar riffs, airy vocal lines, and a steady rhythmic pulse that anchors the track without ever breaking stride.
There’s an easy confidence in the way the band lets the song breathe. Each instrument plays with space, allowing melodies to drift and intertwine like waves lapping at the shore. The Latin tinged percussion injects a subtle but undeniable sway, giving the groove a kinetic undercurrent that feels alive.
Lyrically, ”Light in the Dark” embraces optimism without ignoring life’s shadows. It’s a reminder that even in uncertain times, there’s beauty to be found if you keep moving forward. The chorus, drenched in warmth, offers the quiet reassurance that music much like light can guide you through.
Ultimately, Windows delivers a track that’s equal parts meditative and uplifting. ‘’Light in the Dark’’ doesn’t just play in the background; it invites you in, wraps you up in its glow, and lingers long after the final chord fades.
