Pillow Army Invades the Crocodile
Being band nerds from way back, how could we not be in love with Pillow Army? A Seattle six-piece, Pillow Army wraps pop ingenuity in baroque expressions of confusion, conformity, love, sadness, and anger. They recently released their debut EP, To Comfort and Destroy, and tonight they play at The Crocodile.
Featuring cello, violin, and flute (along with the more traditional guitar, bass, and drums), Pillow Army avoids lockstep progressions in favor of nuanced orchestral changes. The result is an ambiguity of mood that flavors their clear and catchy melodies. If you’re a fan of deceptively bouncy pop songs with clapping hands and hollered choirs, the hard gnaw of strings, and/or The Starlight Mints and The Pixies, we think you’ll rather enjoy the show tonight.
Pillow Army joins The Horde & The Harem, What What Now, and The Royal Bear. If you had some mead and a clown, we’d be halfway to a feudal system. Anyway, come and say hi. We’ll be the ones up near the front happily singing our fool heads off.
