Premiere: The Special Pillow Ready Sixth LP

The Special Pillow are about two decades into a storied career, which includes highlights like being covered by Yo La Tengo, or a feat accomplished by few: finishing their sixth album, Sleeping Weird. Our first listen to music from the LP comes via “Hudson River Dreamboat,” which offers up literary pop music swollen with incredible studio production. You’ll hear strings encircling the verses from the minute you press play, and the small horn section blasts emphatic joyousness throughout. You won’t be able to get away from the natural bounce crafted by a solid rhythm section, including founder Dan Cuddy on bass. If you’re missing well-crafted indie rock, then come back to us; we’re here with The Special Pillow, and you should join us. Look for the new album to drop July 29th.
