Pupa's Window is a United States east-coast low-fi musical act. A pseudonym for Michael Nestor, currently a neuroscience Ph.D., and a member of The Seldon Plan Pupa's Window was formed in 1995 as a way to document recording processes and has released over 18 home-recorded records, some of which have received critical acclaim. Currently part of the Baltimore-based The Beechfields Record Label, Pupa's Window started in the mid-90's at the advent of cassette based low-fi indie pop, although recent records have included more orchestration, experimental recording techniques and releases on CD. Often compared to Lou Barlow, Smog's Bill Callahan and Elliott Smith, Pupa's Window is regarded as one of Baltimore's "best-kept indie-pop songwriter secrets." The music of Pupa's Window is reflective of The Beechfields Record Label and has been called "a stripped-down, folky type of indie-pop with a freak factor provided by plenty of echoey production, a few odd instruments and sounds, and tape-loop tinkering."

Asked about his own music, Nestor has said, "I'm really afraid of the self-indulgent aspect of this music...what I try to remember, is to keep things in the service of the song, that if something isn't working for the song--the lyrics, a drum loop, whatever--to rethink it."
