"the songs are memorable, lush with cello and violin that add drama and depth to the acoustic guitar" - MEGAN SELING - The Stranger
"Pillow Army followed with a fantastic, highly orchestrated set that was quite breathtaking, one of the finest sets I've EVER seen in Seattle" - SAM RUSSELL - The Harborrats
"...halfway between a chamber quartet and a slack-pop fantasy...Submit now or wait for the knock on your door." - TYSON LYNN - Seattle P.I.
Elements of your favorite indie bands march in the fluffy ranks of Pillow Army.
Drummer Paul Culala and bassist Josh Tyack drive the songs with a non-standard
minimalism popularized by Spoon. Cellist John Simpson, violinist Mara Sedlins, and
flautist / vocalist Kaitlin Morrison weave rich and complex sonic landscapes that appeal
to fans of Arcade Fire and The New Pornographers. Soaring overtop is lead singer /
guitarist Tim Franklin, who’s raw energy summons the spirits of Neutral Milk Hotel and
Violent Femmes. Armed with an expansive arsenal of brilliantly composed and arranged
songs, Pillow Army is advancing quickly, so you better put on your cammies, grab your
brain-buckets, and prepare for battle!
"...To Comfort and Destroy is amazing and as complete a realization of Pillow Army's talents as I could hope for. I can't wait to hear the full-length. I can't wait to see them again." - TYSON LYNN - Seattle P.I.
