Pillowprince is an Oakland based indie gaze band that shreds, suspends,
and engulfs you. 

Songwriter and guitarist Olivia Lee sings about queer joy, pain, love, and subversion, punctuating raw sincerity with vibrant brooding guitar riffs. Together with Asha Wells on bass and vocal harmonies and Sea Snyder on drums, they create dense, propulsive shoegaze anthems.

Massive and melodious, Pillowprince ebbs and flows between a dramatic intimate grandeur and irreverent indie pop with upcoming songs engineered by Ian Pellicci (Deerhoof, The Dodos) and mixed by Beau Sorenson (Death Cab For Cutie, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, Tune-yards).

The group’s chemistry is founded in friendship; Olivia and Sea sustained a long distance bromance for a decade before finally reuniting in the same city and making music together. 

Olivia's other loves include conditioning your leather boots, photographing bands, and planning niche high concept parties. Asha flaunts fluorescent pink Polly-Pocket shoes, has an 18-year-old piano playing cat, and is bear safety certified. Sea enjoys coming up with queer pickleball team names and being the band health gothfather.
