That same year, they became a trio with the departure of drummer Rachel Lyons, and they started messing with drum machines and loops. Last year, they released the one-off single &#8220;Be A Big Girl.&#8221; Yesterday, they came back with &#8220;Kiss Kiss,&#8221; another one-off that mixes ragged guitars with gleaming keyboards. I probably don&#8217;t need to tell you that it&#8217;s not a Chris Brown cover. Here&#8217;s what the band says about it:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kiss Kiss&#8221; is about desire in its most volatile form: intense, physical, cyclical, where attraction and connection get knotted up with chaos. It&#8217;s a dreamlike, unstable feeling of going with it anyway, a &#8220;fuck it, it&#8217;ll be grand&#8221; surrender. You recognize the cost but throw yourself into the madness of love regardless, risking it all for that euphoria, which is really what we&#8217;re all here for. Desire and love override logic.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the &#8220;Kiss Kiss&#8221; video below.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kiss Kiss&#8221; is out now on Royal Mountain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dublin indie rockers Pillow Queens were a Stereogum Band To Watch back in 2021, and their most recent&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-361848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
