Dream Wife have quickly became one of the foremost up-and-coming bands in the UK, and ahead of their U.S. debut at SXSW and tour with The Kills they share an anthemic new single.  On “Somebody,” a driving bass-line meets elegant yet gritty guitars to reinforce the lyrical message of the song – “I am not my body, I am somebody.” The single premiered last night on Radio 1– listen to it now HERE.

Dream Wife on “Somebody”-

“Somebody’ is a ballad for women. The song explores the experience of living in a female body within our society. It’s a conversation on the reclamation of bodies by the women who occupy them in a tender, yet direct and empowering way.”

Dream Wife are excited to announce that they will be support for Sleigh Bells on the London and Manchester dates of their February 2017 European tour. Preceding these shows, Dream Wife will also be headlining DIY Magazine’s Hello 2017 tour. Commencing with a free show at London’s Old Blue Last on January 17th before heading around the UK, with supports from the best local bands each city has to offer.

Dream Wife  have today released new track ‘FUU’ featuring a guest rap appearance from Fever Dream (ex-Reykjavíkurdætur).’FUU’ is a raucous ball of energetic and grizzled guitar licks positioned against an aggressive mantra of retribution in the form of irresistibly anthemic lyrics. Premiering on i-D you can stream now.

In addition, Dream Wife announce that they are to headline Huw Stephen’s Presents 10TH Birthday at The Social in London on November 8th (FREE entry).   The Huw Stephens event follows hot on the heels of the bands UK tour with Black Honey, and their appearances at Simple Things and SWN festivals. Dream Wife are also set to play a very special, SOLD OUT, Halloween headline show at London’s Moth Club this coming Monday.

Dream Wife today share the video for ‘Lolita’, directed by Sam Boullier and Eleanor Hardwick.   Premiered on The FADER, the video sees the band explore a favourite genre, horror.  As the band explain:

“The idea for the video came from a distaste toward the classic virginal female victim narrative, the damsel in distress scenario. The intention was to make something both playful and angry, toying with many conventional horror movie moments in an unconventional, empowering, silly and scary way.  Using a found footage aesthetic Sam and Eleanor wove together a series of tableaus in which we inhabit roles of the good and the bad, the villain and the victim, satirizing the archetype of the female horror victim.”
