BEFORE:
Life is exhausting right now. It seems like if it ain’t melting down, it’s shattering into pieces.
For The Wimps, the best medicine was coming together — often virtually — and making a bunch of songs. Some of these “QUARRANTRAX” felt like counterbalances to the sadness and seriousness of the world. The band stuck those songs in a drawer, and that drawer became Pillow and Blankey. Eventually they took them to Go West for tracking and mixing, and then over to VKG Recording for mastering.
P&B is 8 single-y songs that are lighthearted but not halfhearted. They don’t deny heaviness, but try to show that it exists alongside friendship and impermanence. Some songs are warm comfort & some are cold comfort — both sides of the pillow are there for you.
There’s a lot of world out there to face. The Wimps hope you do it on a good night’s sleep.

P&B is eight songs-like-singles that are lighthearted, but not half-hearted. They don’t deny heaviness, but help show that it exists alongside friendship and impermanence.
Some songs are warm comfort & some are cold comfort, just like both sides of the pillow.
