Dune Altar (DA-058.3)

Pillowprince is an Oakland-based indie gaze band that makes rock from cracking folds of leather and glittering chain link, from nights of red-gelled stage lights and mornings after that are way too bright, from hair matted with joy and danger and most of all from bodies making places for themselves only they know.
 
Songwriter and guitarist Olivia Lee (of There's Talk) sings about queer joy, pain, love and subversion, punctuating raw sincerity with vibrant brooding guitar riffs. Together with Sea Snyder on drums, they create dense, propulsive shoegaze anthems.

Massive and melodious, Pillowprince ebbs and flows between a dramatic intimate grandeur and irreverent indie pop on their debut EP, pretty, baby!, coming out on Dune Altar in Spring 2025.

pretty, baby!

Up and down
Youve been fallin for a whole day now

Do you ever wanna make it out
I asked what should I do he said to drink water

Drink it down
Ive been wandering for 2 weeks now

And faces look weird they’re replaced with distortions

I dont need my brain back I just need a portion

I spent the better part
Of a year fighting
With paranoia seems to get better
At telling you you’ll die in December
Before you secure the means to get better

I feel like Bonaparte
Or rather dynamite
My social skills were blown right to smithers
Burns from my phone began to form letters
My default is down I swear my posture was better

OH JUST WHAT I NEEDED

A REASON TO LOOK AT MY PHONE MORE

A REASON TO DOUBLE LOCK THE DOORS

OH JUST WHAT I NEEDED

A CHANGE IN MY WARDROBE A CLEAN ROOM

A REASON TO CRY IN THE BATHROOM

Everything seems farther now

All around
Ive been searching for a whole year now

I know that the sneakin food into my room is misguided but better than texting with you

Drink it down
Ive been crying for an hour now

There’s beauty in kindness I know I should try it
I finally gave up on stupid fad diets

I remember lookin round thinkin this cant be real
The beige tiles flattened and suspect
The corner of rooms were oblong and upset

I remember the sidewalk movin I feel
Like I disrupted some sub stratum
I wondered if David felt this happen

All these lonely nights
Brought me back to life
My home became my self help coach
I saw my memories i found hope
In each corner was an older
Point of view

I spent the better part
Of the night cryin
At people doing nice things together
The internet could help me get better
But I cant look up if I ll die in December

I feel like Joan of arc
Or rather Morrissey 
Got sick of dreaming learned to cut tethers
To feelings that held me down that whole December
I hope my big mouth chews on thoughts that are better

OH JUST WHAT I NEEDED

A REASON TO LOOK AT MY PHONE MORE

A REASON TO DOUBLE LOCK THE DOORS

OH JUST WHAT I NEEDED

A CHANGE IN MY WARDROBE A CLEAN ROOM

A REASON TO CRY IN THE BATHROOM

Everything seems farther now

Just What I Needed

Close It Quietly is a continual reframing of the known. It’s like giving yourself a haircut or rearranging your room. You know your hair. You know your room. Here’s the same hair, the same room, seen again as something new. Close It Quietly takes the trademark Frankie Cosmos micro-universe and upends it, spilling outwards into a swirl of referentiality that’s a marked departure from earlier releases, imagining and reimagining motifs and sounds throughout the album. FC’s fourth studio release is a manifestation of the band’s collaborative spirit: Greta Kline and longtime bandmates Lauren Martin (synth), Luke Pyenson (drums), and Alex Bailey (bass) luxuriated in studio time with Gabe Wax, who engineered and co-produced the record with the band.
