Pillow Theory delivers a high-powered, dynamic live show while successfully genre hopping under the alt-rock umbrella. The band has been selected as one of Tommy Hilfiger's "Best Unsigned Artists", featured on FOX News, SONY PSP UK and performed twice at the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC.
The band's debut disc, 9 1/2, was independently released in 2001. After a slight hiatus, Pillow Theory regrouped and collaborated with sonic genius Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, NIN, PJ Harvey) for their sophomore release OUTPATIENCE. With Albini, they were able to manipulate their ever-changing moods to blend a sporadic yet cohesive sound. The album displays a delicate balance between heavy and light with change ups that may seem bizarre on paper, but work eloquently in sound.
Outpatience was chosen as one of the VILLAGE VOICE’s "best of" in their yearly Pazz & Jop poll before the CD's official release in 2007 on Pursuance Records. One of the album’s tracks, "Drama Fiction Fiend", was pre-released on the Black Rock Coalition's 2005 CD compilation, ROCK N' ROLL REPARATIONS. The album’s opening track “Jealous” was recently featured on the SONY PSP UK website.
Both albums van be purchased via iTunes.com (download), CDBaby.com (hard copy), Amazon.com and plenty of other cool online outlets.

“Listening to 'Outpatience' is like walking in to your own surprise party! When you hit 'play', your mouth gapes and you get that startling sensation on some songs as Kelsey's sweet voice turns screamo at the drop of a hat! You do not know what to expect on this rollercoaster ride of a CD-it's like opening up a Cracker Jack box and finding that little surprise inside!”

“Pillow Theory turns up the distortion with a sound dipped in molten metal and alt-rock urgency”
