Canadian-born Windmills began creating music in 2011.
As a performer he’s toured across North America, performing at major music festivals of thousands
(Rifflandia, Shambhala, Canadian Music Week, Khatsahlano, Island Time)
to intimate rooms, creating a name for himself & his trademark sound.
Described by his fans as Moody Indie Swoon Pop.
This sound became something meticulously cultivated & obsessed over.
A constant challenge to evolve & “keep moving”, the work speaks for itself.
Over the last 15 years Windmills has released 4 full-length LP’s & 3 EP’s,
his last full-length album, 2022’s what need is there to weep?.
A project unlike anything he had created before.
The response was deafening, immediately selling out the first vinyl pressing (100),
with records shipped to over 30 locations globally in 8 countries across 5 continents.
The songs landing on major playlists & licensed for incredible projects internationally.
In 2024, after 2 years of performing over 60+ shows,
Windmills released 9 songs in 6 months (via Sounds Suspicious).
Beginning in June with the release of As You Like It,
a summer wave of infectious hooks & Windmills’ trademark lyrical wit,
& ending the year with the introspective QUIET TRAUMAS EP.
A collection of songs that tackled themes of ego, love, self-doubt, & the pursuit of healing.
Between the end of 2024 & January 2026, a prolific streak of songwriting occurred.
28 new songs. A raw, expansive look into his evolving craft.
Ten of those songs became the foundation of his latest work, Pilot Episode.

Canadian artist keeps things breezy (on ‘Suburban Pastime’) with this warm and alluring indie-rock swoon. (On ‘The Way’) Windmills captivates on this soft and airy slice of indie-rock gold.

Windmills constructs his beats, vocals & guitar hooks one at a time, managing to sound both minimalist & full depending on the emotional stage of the song. ‘Face To A Name’ is a catchy, masterfully constructed pop song that is a perfect track for your summer playlist.

’what need is there to weep?’ is a masterpiece of Windmills’ technical prowess. Each song is a study in texture, playing with layered melodies & tempo. Not only a master in musical artistry, the album’s themes of love, mourning, & heartbreak come through in the atmosphere. The album creates a strong narrative from start to finish, suspending you in Windmills’ poignant snapshot of what he went through during his absence, as well as what many others can relate to as we live out our lives. The album is truly an exploratory landscape for themes that many of us can relate to, & it is a poetic, evocative listen.
