Pillow Queens Debut Album Coming Soon

  • Published in News

Dublin band Pillow Queens have premiered a brand new single. The track, entitled 'Brothers', was described as "open-hearted and unafraid to say it as it is". It begins the countdown toward their much anticipated 2020 debut album. The band say the track itself is about cherishing and loving the wonderful men in your life.

They explain further, "the lyrics in the verses show quick snapshots of the aftermath from a loss of a friend within a very tight knit group. An element of fear runs through the song as this sudden death makes you look around your group and feel terrified of the chances of another."

It touches on a shared grief which drives you to hold dear the memories and moments you have with each other. While this song can be considered one about mourning, it’s ultimately about the intense love you have for your chosen family.

The track was recorded in Attica Studios, Co. Donegal with producer Tommy McLaughlin. It’s also been released alongside a beautifully cinematic video made with regular collaborator, director Kate Dolan.

After a triumphant run of UK dates in October, including a sell-out show at London's Shacklewell Arms, the band now travel to play LA’s School Night club and then on to Iceland Airwaves festival in Reykjavik.

November 1st - PUCA Festival, Ireland

November 4th - School Night @ Resident, Los Angeles, USA

  • Published in News

Pillow Queens bring an amazing year to a close by announcing a UK and Irish winter tour, including their London return on November 17 in Oslo Hackney. To mark the occasion, they've put together a music video for live favourite 'Puppets'.

The video sees a washed up puppet take a trip down memory lane towards a brighter time in her life - a time when she was the fifth member of Pillow Queens - successful through the ages. After being kicked out of the band due to some bad life decisions, Connie the puppet decides to take her future with the band into her own hands, editing herself into a music video.

The video was shot over a weekend in Arklow by Dublin based videographers The Reelists and Connie the Puppet was handcrafted by Music City frontman Conor Lumsden.
