Pillow Queens, an acclaimed Irish indie rock band, has released their latest track “Like A Lesson” along with its official video, drawing inspiration from 90s soft rock. The song, part of their upcoming third studio album “Name Your Sorrow,” set to release on April 19, 2024, delves into themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and the complexities of personal connections. The band describes the song as exploring the dichotomy between the comfort found in love and the paralyzing fear of mistakes. “Like A Lesson” is noted for its catchy guitar riff and relatable lyrics, reflecting the band’s diverse musical influences including Blur, REM, and Semisonic.
“Name Your Sorrow” promises to showcase the band’s evolution, exploring themes of queerness, insecurity, and the resilience found in overcoming pain. Produced by Collin Pastore, the album aims to offer an intimate glimpse into the band’s artistry and humanity, with a sound influenced by a broad range of artists from Vampire Weekend to Lana Del Rey.
Pillow Queens, formed in 2016 and known for their energetic performances and heartfelt lyrics, have quickly made a name for themselves in the indie rock scene. Following their debut and the well-received “Leave The Light On,” the band continues to captivate audiences with their dynamic sound and honest storytelling. Their upcoming album, along with a series of live performances in the UK and a significant show in Dublin at Iveagh Gardens on July 13, marks an exciting new chapter for the band. Tickets for their shows are available for purchase now.
