Dream Wife announce self-titled debut album and share new track "Let's Make Out"

25 October 2017, 10:29 | Written by Laurence Day

Dream Wife have announced their long-awaited debut album and shared another new cut from it to mark the occasion.

"Let's Make Out" joins up with the likes of "Fire", "Hey Heartbreaker", "F.U.U.", and "Somebody" on the record. The Icelandic/British trio are following up their Fire EP, which arrived last month.

"It’s a commentary on the objectification of women; the 1950s American Dream stereotype package, having the dream house, the dream car, and the dream wife," say Dream Wife of their name and overarching constants. "We want to flip the script on that. Women aren’t objects; we don’t just fit into one mold. At the start, we joked around calling each other our wives, but by supporting one another, celebrating achievements together and finding strength in female solidarity we’re reclaiming the concept of a ‘wife’. Being in a band is a marriage in itself.”

Dream Wife recently wrote for us about community, Bad Bitches, and safe spaces in a new photo essay with photographer Meg Lavender and activists Girls Against. Check it out.

Tracklist:

  1. Lets Make Out
  2. Somebody
  3. Fire
  4. Hey Heartbreaker
  5. Love Without Reason
  6. Kids

  8. Act My Age

Dream Wife is out 26 January 2018 via Lucky Number.
