Pillow Queens have offered another preview of their new album Name Your Sorrow – out April 19 – with ‘Like a Lesson’. The track follows earlier cuts ‘Gone’ and ‘Suffer’. Listen to it below.
“The notion of finding safety and comfort in the presence of love of limerence is emphasized, contrasting with the paralyzing fear of making mistakes or ruining your life or someone else’s,” the band said in a statement about the new song. “It delves into the feeling of being a lesson for someone, a side character in someone else’s story.”
“Sonically, we were influenced by a range of artists from Blur and REM to Seminsonic, New Radicals, and Squeeze,” they continued. “It began as a song we felt had a strong country music influence and morphed into something that referenced a wide range of our musical tastes. It’s the 90s soft rock song on the album.”
