Just about a year ago, we named the Dublin group Pillow Queens a Band To Watch on the strength of their debut In Waiting. Since then, we’ve heard from them here and there, including when they covered the Cranberries and when they offered the standalone single “Rats.” Now, they’re about to return with a sophomore outing. It’s called Leave The Light On and it’s out at the beginning of April.

Along with the announcement, Pillow Queens have shared a new song called “Be By Your Side.” “This song is about the mechanisms that are used to hide your vulnerabilities and carry on,” singer/bassist Pamela Connolly said in a statement. “But also, the feeling of being about to burst and how cathartic it could be to allow yourself to let your emotions out and feel the world around you. This was one of the first songs we finished on the album as it was the quickest to become fully realized by all of us.”

Check it out below via director Kate Dolan’s music video.
