Irish Rockers Pillow Queens Announce Debut Album, Release New Single “Handsome Wife”
“Irish rockers Pillow Queens have announced the details of their debut album In Waiting. It’s set for release on September 25 via their own Pillow Queens Records, and it will include previously-released singles “Gay Girls,” “Brothers” and “HowDoILook,” plus their brand new single “Handsome Wife,” which you can hear below. Last year, Paste named Pillow Queens one of 15 Irish Acts You Need to Know in 2019.
“This video was made in isolation with the help of friends, family & strangers. It is a love letter to touch and all the ways we miss the closeness of others right now.”
The music video for “Handsome Wife” opens with these words printed in yellow and suspended in the sky. A dreamy, sun-drenched ode to touch, the following video evokes a nostalgia for closeness that even Harry Styles’ beloved “Watermelon Sugar” music video doesn’t quite match. A reminiscence on many different kinds of affection and intimacy, “Handsome Wife” is both a longing remembrance of the past and a hopeful vision for the future.
