BIOGRAPHY
“… really goddamned great music.” – CORY DOCTOROW – BoingBoing.net
.
“You should go see them; they know how to put on a great live show, their songwriting is top-notch, and they’re on their way to being gigantic.” - PAUL CONSTANT – The Stranger .
"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 Peter McClanahan drive the songs with a non-standard minimalism popularized by Spoon. Cellist Peter Ellis, violist 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 over top 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!
