Ahead of the release of their new album Name Your Sorrow on Friday, Pillow Queens have offered up one more single called ‘Heavy Pour’. It follows ‘Suffer’, ‘Gone’, and ‘Like a Lesson’. Check out director Kate Dolan’s video for it below.
“It feels like a bit of a bizarre journey or a fever dream,” lead guitarist and vocalist Cathy McGuinness shared in a statement. “The guitar becomes more palatable in the middle eight, totally contradicting the previous section of discordant chaos. It then falls into a glorious half time with ‘oohs’ to support the instruments, giving a feeling of clarity and resolve before snapping back to the chorus.”
Lead vocalist, guitarist, and bassist Pamela Connelly added: “A lot of the lines in this song could convey the typical sweetness of a love song, but it has brief moments of outside perspectives that cast doubt over the conviction represented. The song tries to show the ‘heavy pour’ as a compulsion that while having moments of joy, ultimately heightens personal insecurities.”
