Pillow Queens are back with a new single, Be A Big Girl.
Arriving independently via the Dublin band's own Pillow Queen Records, the defiant indie-rock track follows their 2024 album, 'Name Your Sorrow', and marks their first release following the departure of drummer Rachel Lyons last November. The band said:
"I think people expect 'being a big girl' to mean keeping your chin up, not making a fuss, and politely ignoring the fact you’re being shoved towards the door. For us, it’s the opposite. It’s staying exactly where you are when you’re told to leave, making a fuss, and taking up more space in the process.
"Living in Ireland, making music here, and not hopping on the first flight out is already an act of stubborn optimism. And yeah, sometimes you’re crying in Lidl or planning a better life in Australia, but at least you’re still standing. That’s the kind of ‘big girl’ we’re interested in being."
The song arrives amid the trio's dates supporting Lord Huron in Europe, which continue with a performance in Berlin, Germany tonight (September 8). The tour will visit the UK for stops in Bristol, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Edinburgh and London between September 18 and 24.
Pillows Queens will headline their own show in Dublin on October 21 to celebrate the fifth anniversary of their debut album, 'In Waiting'. Tickets are on sale now.
