Pillow Queens announce their third studio album, Name Your Sorrow

Produced by Collin Pastore (Lucy Dacus, boygenius) at Analogue Catalogue in Northern Ireland, the collection sees the group explore themes of queerness, insecurity, desire and heartbreak as well as the positivity and strength that can grow from pain. Lead guitarist and vocalist Cathy McGuinness calls the album one of intensity, loneliness and love. "It is about stages of love, loss and grief and how they can all exist alongside one another–intertwined, messy, beautiful–how both love and loss can coexist."

The band says, "'Gone'" is a song that looks into the vapid nature of brief romantic encounters and the hyperbole that can become so monotonous, it makes you jaded." The track came about at the end of a jam session during a songwriting retreat in The Burren on the West Coast of Ireland. Lead vocalist, guitarist and bassist Pamela Connolly adds, "Lines like, 'I was in your top five things to do' convey a lack of self-worth that’s tackled throughout the album. It’s a song that showcases a vulnerability that allows for no silver linings–it's the reality of how someone is feeling in the moment."

Pillow Queens announce a fresh string of live dates throughout the UK this June with pre-sale beginning 25 January and the general on-sale beginning 26 January. The band's biggest show to date takes place in July at Ireland's Iveagh Gardens in Dublin.
