[edit] History
Aoki explained that there's a meaning behind the album name. Pillow Face is a character he created who is really the alter ego of himself. 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 LA to, everywhere, all kind of coming together for this one."[1]
