Dream Wife unleash brand new single "Who Do You Wanna Be?"
London-based trio Dream Wife share the fourth single from their upcoming album, Social Lubrication.
The band have already shared three singles – “Orbit", “Hot (Don’t Date A Musician)” and “Leech".
"Who Do You Wanna Be?", the band says, is “about running on the capitalist treadmill and falling face first on the pavement. Hollow slogans, social media activism without action, leftist infighting, monetising feminism, 'girl boss', all soul crushing nonsense. Capitalism consumes everything. We should tear down the unreachable anxiety filled idea of perfectionism and move from hyper individualised narrative to collective action to create hopeful, rebellious, collective, systems of care. This is a call to arms for change.”
An entirely self-written and self-produced album, with the only outside influence being the heavyweight mixing duo of Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Killers, Depeche Mode) and Caesar Edmunds (Wet Leg, Beach House), Social Lubrication is Dream Wife's third studio album, following 2018's self-titled, and 2020's So When You Gonna....
In the band's words, the album is “Hyper lusty rock and roll with a political punch, exploring the alchemy of attraction, the lust for life, embracing community and calling out the patriarchy. With a healthy dose of playfulness and fun thrown in".
"Who Do You Wanna Be?" is out now. Dream Wife's Social Lubrication album will arrive on 9 June via Lucky Number, and is available to pre-order now.
