Background

[edit]

Aoki explained that there is a meaning behind the album name. Pillowface is an alter ego of Aoki. He is "traveling and surviving with no sleep – practically, no sleep for weeks, yet still being able to function. His head turns into a pillow. Airplane Chronicles – we're just traveling, living in airports and going global. That's part of what glues all this music and all these artists together. There's artists from Sweden, to New York, to Paris, to Los Angeles to, everywhere, all kind of coming together for this one."[1]
