Dream Wife have just released details of their second album, “So When You Gonna…“, which will be released on July 3.
The band’s excellent self-titled debut was released in 2018 and their live shows have gone from strength to strength.
They told Radio 1’s Annie Mac that the new album was made with an all-female team and the excellent lead single is called “Sports!”. You can see the video below.
The band have commented on “Sports!” stating that “Sports! sits on multiple levels; of satire and celebration, of nonsense and commonsense, of the body and the mind, of IRL and digital. The video simultaneously plays with and celebrates ’sports’ through multiple levels of reality and non-reality; exploring the nonsense of sports, toying with the seriousness of competition and the rigidity of rules while also asserting how important it is to be in your body, the joy of being in a team, the purpose in doing something for the sake of doing it, the endorphins and the sweat.
Playing sports is great if that’s for you but there are so many other ways to be physical, to be with your body. For us, more often than not, it’s the rock show. Rock n roll is an extreme sport and we’re a team.”
As well as an album, Dream Wife are also launching a podcast series which is also titled “So When You Gonna…” Each episode is a one-on-one interview with a different creative about how exactly they managed to hone their craft, for example So When You Gonna… Get Into Production.“It’s an informative thing to feed back to our fans to be able to see about getting into certain industries. It’s about fostering communities. And it’s a skill share,” explains Go.
