Pearly Drops is a duo of Finnish musicians Sandra Tervonen and Juuso Malin who recently shared their new album The Voices Are Coming Back on August 29 via Music Website.
We previously shared single “End Credits” and today turn our focus to single and album highlight “Pillow Face”. There is a glitchy nature and hyper-active electronic pop element, that combines shoegazy production elements with dreamy vocals that all add up to a most hypnotic blend of sounds.
On the track, Pearly Drops add:
“To us ‘Pillow Face’ feels like a quiet scream. This song lives in the tension between vanity and vanishing. It’s a looping lament about the dread of beauty—how we reshape ourselves to be seen, then disappear beneath the very image we create. A soft suffocation wrapped in rhythm, where the search for perfection becomes a silent spiral. With every repetition, the song asks: What happens when the beauty we craft to be noticed becomes the thing that drowns us?
‘Pillow Face’ as well as the previously released single ‘Ratgirl’ are musical sequels of sorts. Both borrow from the New Rave of the early millennium, through a sort of ethereal Slowdive filter.”
