Paper Garden Records recording artists The Storm Windows have released their first single from an upcoming live album. The track, titled "FIONA," is described as a song about lost love and the highway to contemplate it. The single was recorded live before a sold-out audience at Tank Studio in Burlington, Vermont on November 1, 2025, and features the trio of Rob Mathews on guitar and vocals, Don Mathews on upright bass and vocals, and Erik Anderson on drums.
The single marks the band's debut on the PGRoots label, an imprint of Paper Garden Records. It precedes the release of a full live album scheduled for August 21. Fans attending live shows this summer may have the opportunity to purchase the album on vinyl, according to the band's website.
The audio for "FIONA" was produced and mixed by Ben Collett and Julia Rangel at Tank Recording Studios, with a video directed by Drew Fahle. As of June 19, links to the single are available on major streaming platforms. The video can be viewed on YouTube, and the single is available on Spotify.
The Storm Windows, described by critics as playing "New Americana – a blend of folk, rock and even jazz laced sonics," take their name from a John Prine song title. The band, which includes veteran musicians, performs both showcases and bar gigs. Their upcoming live album will be their first full-length release on the PGRoots label, following a series of live performances that have built a dedicated following.
The release of "FIONA" and the forthcoming album underscore the band's continued presence in the Americana music scene, offering fans a recorded document of their live performances. The single is now available on all major streaming platforms.
