Pillow Queens - 'No Good Woman'
‘No Good Woman’, the third single from Pillow Queens’ upcoming LP, Leave The Light On, is a dark, rallying, rock-ballad not to be missed.
“It’s pretty much a song about Sisyphus,” explains Pillow Queen’s lead singer, Pam Connolly. If ‘No Good Woman’ is the soundtrack to pushing the rock up the hill, at least we know that every cloud has a silver lining.
The latest release from the Dublin band is a hard-hitting, gravelly rock ballad that you can imagine being truly electrifying live (luckily for us, they’re touring the UK in May). Almost like a darker ‘9 to 5’, the band express the anger of working in a thankless job, “all of these men you’ve been working for […] they wine and dine on your back so much that they step on your neck as well.” The track “tries to convey a perpetual hopelessness of debt and striving for an ideal that can never be achieved,” says Connolly.
The darkest of their single releases so far, ‘No Good Woman’ is a perfect example of Pillow Queen’s ability to create catchy melodies and evocative lyrics. It would almost make you jealous of Sisyphus.
