Floating in the Fog: Windows Finds Magic in the Stillness

Windows’ newest single, That’s When, is like stepping into a faded photograph—warm, wistful, and just a little haunted. Recorded at Rami Jaffee’s studio during the quiet ache of the pandemic, and brought to life by producer Rocco Guarino, the track hums with analog soul and late-night reflection.

Right from the first note, you feel it: a soft pulse that pulls you into a suspended moment, as if time forgot to tick. There’s something cinematic about the way the instruments melt into one another—gentle guitars, dreamy synths, and a rhythm section that doesn’t rush, but strolls through memory. It’s groove without ego, presence without noise.

Lyrically, That’s When doesn’t shout its truth—it sighs it. It leans in close and tells you about waiting, remembering, and maybe even healing. It’s a love song, or a lost moment, or a whisper to a younger self—you decide. That ambiguity? That’s the magic.

Windows has always played with nostalgia, but this one hits different. It doesn’t just sound retro; it feels timeless. It’s the kind of song you stumble upon at midnight, headphones in, wondering how it knew exactly what you were feeling.

Play it once. Then play it again. You’ll hear something new—because That’s When knows how to linger.
