Kevin This album is fantastic. I can tell by the lyrics and the way they are sung how personal of an album it is, and it really puts you into the mind of pillowsnake. The love for his music and his girlfriend Gabriela is clearly felt here, especially in "Gabriela is the new skin", which is also my favorite track. If you haven't seen Pillowsnake live, I recommend it. The energy he brings to his shows and his music just emanates through him. A great album for sure, and a great artist. Favorite track: gabriela is the new skin.

Mark Hernandez Pillowsnake gets better with every release and “hmminBYRD” is no exception.
This album explores Snakes vulnerabilities with undeniable confidence that shines through every ounce of this experience. “hmminBYRD” is the sound of an artist who knows his true power and how to harness it.
Favorite track: hmminBYRD's lament/outie.

I slept till I'm dead Then I woke up inside your head Fast as hummingbirds No one can see me coming in Pray I can't receive Any recipt keeping me dead Don't look for my eyes Gabriela is the new skin I love the skin I love the skin I love the skin I'm in You can pray that I don't look back at me I love the skin I love the skin I love the skin I'm in You can pray that I can't look back at my own eyes Witch hazel on an open pore Apricots, coffee beans and more Epsom salt on an oily patch Can you tell its a perfect match Hung up on the new skin

Meeting quotas like you're pushing up the clock hands Looking like a kid I killed inside a dream With a badge and curtains down forgiving no man A silent dream Arrest myself and everybody else around me Backup coming like there isn't any time We don't hate you 'less you do a job beside me We were a team Didn't know island time meant you fuck with me Didn't know island time meant I fuck with you Didn't know island time meant so much with me So much to fighting boredom when there's "a job to do" Make up a charge In the car Got no rights No, there they are Pearls and Quotas are running amuck Know that they'll leave me dead
4.	LOVE GAVE ME THE LUXURY OF TIME 02:38	lyrics	buy track
Do you want me gone? Do you want me dead? Don't you know the buzz is in your head? Love gave me the luxury of time Gave me the luxury that's mine Gave me the luxury that you can't find You gave me the luxury of time Gave me the luxury that's mine Gave me the luxury that you can't find Shower cap on my head When I walk cross the room Knowing this is my tomb Can I look a little fresh When I don't own my flesh Nor know my own address I will live in my love
5.	hmminBYRD's lament/outie 04:09	lyrics	buy track
Count your dreams I havent died just long enough to lose the dreaming I haven't lived just long enough to stop the screaming I haven't burned myself into a new religion A true religion I don't Mean to be mean But you can count your mellow drama on your fingers Just like the voices you can claim share separate singers And you can make an army out of toxic multiples Es el Ultimo You don't need a word to get me out of bed But it will help if it is spelt correct Know that I Will only have a singular, no plural form Will never jinx myself and bring a perfect storm Will never create 'less I tear myself to shreds And tear the new shreds I can't Go back to The nights I felt the blankets on me suffocating The days my head felt onwards like it's dislocating Now in the present, I'mma think I'm elevating Im not the same thing Hummingbird

about

My most personal release so far. Hummingbirds are the most beautiful animals on the planet (next to snakes🐍🐍🐍)
Uncaged and fast and stuttering in every flap of their wings. I zap my guitars and sine waves with the upmost half assed precision to destroy atmosphere faster than a plastic bottle company.
I'm in love, hate cops, don't give a fuck if I'm on time, and came to terms with the fact there will be no one else like me. That's the album, plus an intro and outro.
Enjoy 😃

For best experience, please read lyrics.

about

Pillowsnake Harlingen, Texas

Pillowsnake is a project by multi-instrumentalist Jake La Follette. Started in 2017, he's used the platform to combine psychedelic rock, hardcore punk, DnB, hip hop, and whatever else he's into at the moment into bite-sized bangers and high energy performances. These noises are topped off with cryptic lyrics about love, self assurance, and odes to N64 games and The Sopranos. ... more
