Dream Wife enters Galway in October

London-based Dream Wife is releasing a new single as part of its British, Irish and US tour which lands at Galway’s Róisín Dubh on Thursday, October 12.

The trio is vocalist Rakel Mjöll, guitarist Alice Go, and bassist Bella Podpadec.

‘Orbit’ follows the previously released singles ‘Leech’ and ‘Hot (Don’t Date A Musician )’, and was produced by Alice Go and mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Killers, Depeche Mode ).

The single is taken from their highly anticipated third album, Social Lubrication, which will be released next summer via Lucky Number.

The band explain: “Written through the joy of jamming together and locking into the groove like a multi limbed space age organism, Orbit has a dance rock edge from the early noughties of bands like New Young Pony Club and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Lyrically, it was inspired by post-lockdown London coming back to life and sharing a space through friendship and community. And how each day you never know what’s in store for you or how a stranger can become someone close to you - for a day, a heartbeat, a phase, or a lifetime.”

Dream Wife’s last album, So When You Gonna... smashed the Official UK Top 20 album charts - the only indie album recorded and produced solely by women at the time to do so.

They've toured internationally, performing at festivals such as Lollapalooza (US ), Laneway (Australia ), Summersonic (Japan ), Primavera (Spain ) and Pitchfork (France ) as well as opening for the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park, Garbage, and for The Kills, Sleigh Bells and Sunflower Bean across North America. Their music has appeared on numerous TV soundtracks and they’ve remixed tracks by Rina Sawayama, Nova Twins, Porridge Radio and more.

Proceeds from direct digital sales of So When You Gonna... went to Black Minds Matter and Gendered Intelligence. In 2021, the band released a mega mix for Rainbow Mind, a mental health charity for LGBTQIA people, with contributions from Shirley Manson, The Big Moon, Big Joanie and Girli among others.
