The Silly Pillows

The Silly Pillows were an American indie pop band formed by Jonathan Caws-Elwitt. They began as a home-recorded duo of Jonathan and his wife Hilary Caws of the Degrads. The band evolved into a studio-recorded full lineup, which dissolved in 2000. Jonathan and Hilary revived their home-recording career as "The Original Silly Furniture Pillows" in 2005. The first studio lineup included Jonathan, Sam, Cheryl De Luke, and Christopher Earl of Squires of the Subterrain. The music has been described as "gems, mindblowing harmonies, varied multilistic instrumentation with creative stylistic flexibility." Jonathan has stated that his goal is to achieve "sincerity, sincerity, beauty and sadness."
