Dream Wife have announced their third album.
The London trio will release 'Social Lubrication' on June 9 via Lucky Number, following up 2020's 'So When You Gonna...'. Self-penned and self-produced, the LP will feature the punchy, raucous new track, Hot (Don't Date A Musician), their first release of 2023, along with the November 2022 single Leech. Commenting on the new cut, which comes with a Bethany Fitter-directed video, vocalist Rakel Mjöll said:
"Dating musicians is a nightmare. Evoking imagery of late night make-outs with fuckboy/girl/ambiguously-gendered musicians on their mattress after being seduced by song-writing chat. The roles being equally reversed. Having a laugh together and being able to poke fun at ourselves is very much at the heart of this band. This song encapsulates our shared sense of humour. Sonically, it is the lovechild of CSS and Motorhead. It has our hard, live, rock edge combined with cheeky and playful vocals."
The band went on to describe the album as, "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."
