The PQs are back. Announcing their long-awaited (around these parts) debut album, Pillow Queens have shared a new single ‘Handsome Wife’.
The album In Waiting, out September 25th on their own label, features previous singles ‘Gay Girls’, ‘Brothers’, and ‘HowDoILook’.
‘Handsome Wife’ is about the under-appreciated moments in life:
“Handsome Wife begins with a glimpse into an emotional homecoming, one that intensifies and romanticises the seemingly insignificant. Throughout, the mundane but tender moments are held up and deified, paying reverence to the ease in which a love can thrive outside the realms of tradition. The song continuously references structures and rituals that were once out of reach, but are now within our grasp. In spite of this Handsome Wife affirms that they pale in comparison to the communities we’ve built ourselves.”
