Dream Wife share live recording of unreleased track "Cheap Thrills"

On Tuesday (10 November), Rough Trade shared its favourite albums of 2020 list, which featured Dream Wife's So When You Gonna... album.

Dream Wife announced their IRL (Live In London 2020) live album off the back of that, which was recorded at Peckham Audio in January.

The LP features recordings from the band's first and second album, as well as unreleased track "Cheap Thrills" - which has since been released.

Speaking about the live album, Dream Wife said, "The rock show is the beating heart of this band. We cut our teeth as a unit playing relentless DIY tours before ever releasing music. We often describe recordings as a snapshot of a song at a moment in time, but understanding them as living, breathing, transforming entities through the rock show. Kicking off this year we imagined 2020 to be seriously getting back to touring, to playing shows, to letting these songs live. But... 2020 has not been what anyone expected it to be."

Dream Wife added, "When we put on this small intimate ‘sort of’ secret gig for fans & friends at Peckham Audio back in January we thought it was the first but, as it turns out, it was going to be the only for a very long time. We truly believe in the transcendental power of live music; that you have the power to go somewhere together. We can’t wait to commune with you IRL, at the rock show; to share sweat and joy and rage and grief and energy and love. But for now, we offer you a snapshot of our only rock show of 2020. We offer you a little bit of that energy and rawness and connection captured digitally. It's not quite the same. But don’t worry we'll be together, we will be loud, and we will be unapologetically present soon. Lots of love, Your Wives xxx."
