Pillow Queens have shared a second single from their forthcoming album ‘Leave The Light On’.
Titled ‘Hearts & Minds’, singer/guitarist Pamela Connolly explains: “‘Hearts & Minds’ is about experiencing the feeling of being a teenager again. The insecurities about body image and ability when it comes to being a musician that’s seeing themselves recorded and pictured, as well as commented on. It deals with the idea of imposter syndrome when it comes to an industry that favours the male form and the insecurity of not being able to be effortless with your movements.”
The full length, ‘Leave The Light On’, is set to arrive on 1st April. ‘Hearts & Minds’ follows the first taster of the record, ‘Be By Your Side’, which arrived last month.
In support of the album, the band will play shows across Ireland, the UK and North America. You can find the full details below.
