The Special Pillow - Inside the Special Pillow (2003)

Psychedelic pop encompassing winsome melodies, garage-rock crunch, snappy bubblegum hooks, orchestral flourishes, tripped-out ambience, and multipartite epics

INSIDE THE SPECIAL PILLOW is the long-awaited second album by the Special Pillow, a psych-pop magnum opus encompassing winsome melodies, garage-rock crunch, snappy bubblegum hooks, orchestral flourishes, tripped-out ambience, and multipartite epics.

The follow-up to 1997's critically acclaimed ANCIENT HISTORY, INSIDE THE SPECIAL PILLOW features tracks produced by Michael Deming (of Lilys, Pernice Brothers, and Beachwood Sparks fame), in addition to an array of masterful musical moments captured in rehearsal studios, living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms throughout the New York metropolitan area by the band's own Peter Walsh.

Contributing musicians include past and present members of such prestigious indie-rock acts as Hypnolovewheel, Run On, Antietam,
Splendora, and Sleepyhead. This pedigreed ensemble has pooled their considerable talents to bring the inimitable songs of Dan Cuddy to glorious fruition.
