Pillow Queens have announced a new album titled ‘Name Your Sorrow’ and have shared its lead single ‘Gone’.The Irish indie rock band – comprised of Pamela Connolly, Sarah Corcoran, Rachel Lyons and Cathy McGuinness – are set to release their third LP on April 19. ‘Name Your Sorrow’ is available for pre-save/pre-order here.With lyrics “Tried to be your rock / But I’m just your fool / I could make it stop / but I’m not that cool / I was in your top five things to do”, the album’s lead single ‘Gone’ describes the exiting of a collapsing relationship.Speaking about the track in a press release, Pillow Queens said “‘Gone’ is a song that looks into the vapid nature of brief romantic encounters and the hyperbole that can become so monotonous, it makes you jaded.”Lead vocalist, guitarist and bassist Pamela Connolly added, “Lines like, ‘I was in your top five things to do’ convey a lack of self-worth that’s tackled throughout the album.

It’s a song that showcases a vulnerability that allows for no silver linings–it’s the reality of how someone is feeling in the moment.”Produced by Collin Pastore (Lucy Dacus, boygenius) at Analogue Catalogue in Northern Ireland, ‘Name Your Sorrow’ sees the band “at their most vulnerable and self-assured as they explore themes of queerness, insecurity, desire and heartbreak as well as the positivity and strength that can grow from pain.”Speaking about the album, The band said: “It is about stages of love, loss and grief and how they can all exist alongside one another–intertwined, messy, beautiful–how both love and loss can coexist.”They also credited Irish poet Eavan Bolan, English poet John Keats, and British writer C.S.
