Pillowinde is a noisy pop band with a kaleidoscopic sound. Originally a solo project by Claire Ruiz, formed in the depths of the COVID era, it evolved into a full-fledged live act in the fall of 2021. Since then, Pillowinde has released a series of albums, each one pushing further into the weird and wonderful.
Their latest release, pine!pine!pine!, is a genre-blurring whirlwind, blending power pop, chiptune, ska, mariachi, and shoegaze�jumping from Beck-like experimentation to deep-cut Of Montreal eccentricity. On stage, this eclecticism transforms into an electrifying live experience, captivating audiences across the tri-state area.
Pillowinde's live lineup features an unconventional mix of keys, flute, guitar, trumpet, percussion, bass, and drums, delivering a dynamic set that�s as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.
