The Windmills

On a very basic level, windmills convert energy. 

As an artist, Windmills does much the same thing, taking personal tragedies, triumphs and memories and transforming them into songs dripping with heartbreak and anguish.



Windmills is the moniker of "moody indie swoon pop" artist, Cory Myraas.
Based in British Columbia’s picturesque Okanagan Valley, Windmills emerged in 2011. A clever songwriter with strong lyrical command, the words in a Windmills song are always accompanied by a soundscape that tells you how to feel.

A genuine one-man show, this is a musician in charge of his craft. 
He has also become the Okanagan Valley music scene’s semi-reluctant heartthrob - handsome, tattooed and slender with a voluminous flop of magical hair, this is a man who gets marriage proposals via Twitter.



Since 2011, he has released two full-length records - Keep Moving and 2015’s Measures - and 2013’s Tilting EP. Windmills has also completed multiple Canadian tours, secured performance spots at festivals like Rifflandia, Canadian Music Week, and Shambhala, and reached the Top 12 of the prestigious 2015 PEAK Performance Project. 
All the while his popularity grows, breaking 1,000,000 plays on Spotify in one short year.



His music has champions well beyond the boundaries of his native Okanagan, with his sounds being well received in Canada and internationally, from the US to Asia and many countries in between. Importantly, there’s a clear evolution in the Windmills sound, and his songwriting continues to develop becoming stronger and more mature.

All the while continuing to prove one thing, that 
windmills keep moving.
