Background
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."
