: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Brighton trio Dream Wife, who last year headlined one of NMEÆs :,
: Girls To The Front gigs û showcases for female and non-binary :
:' artists û have never taken anyoneÆs shit, and theyÆre not about ':
,: to start now. Their stellar self-titled 2018 debut album was :,
: stuffed with feminist punk anthems and Rakel Mj÷ll (vocals), :
:' Alice Go (guitar) and Bella Podpadec (bass) have delivered an ':
,: outspoken, subversive follow-up. :,
: :
:' æSports!Æ is a perfect album opener. With a discordant guitar ':
,: riff, Mj÷ll comes in with ôfuck sorry / fuck please will you so :,
: kindly start againö. It is a call-to-action for womxn everywhere :
:' û stop apologising for what you do, and just do it. ':
,: :,
: æSports!Æ is an urgent and adrenaline-fuelled song, layered with :
:' many different meanings and dripping with sarcasm. The song is ':
,: an ode to the time the band spent together while writing this :,
: record, expelling some of their post-tour energy after spending :
:' nearly two years shouting and playing crashing guitars on ':
,: stages across the world. ItÆs a playful track full of sport :,
: clichΘs, as Mj÷ll sings ôput your eye on the ball when itÆs in :
:' your courtö, with the song exploring the sexist trope of male ':
,: condescension in sport. ôDo you even play this sport?ö she asks :,
: ironically. :
:' ':
,: The songÆs hook sees her repeat ôput your money where your mouth :,
: isö û and Dream Wife certainly do that. The band have been :
:' outspoken about the gender inequalities in the music industry ':
,: and wider world since their inception, and worked with an :,
: all-female recording team for æSo When You Gonna..Æ., including :
:' producer and mixer Marta Salogni (whoÆs helmed projects from ':
,: Bj÷rk, Holly Herndon and FKA Twigs). :,
: :
:' The team of womxn who supported this album can be heard ':
,: throughout the record û it just sounds organic and comfortable. :,
: ôIt was amazing to work with this community of womxn who are :
:' supporting each other in an industry that is so male-dominated, ':
,: bassist Bella Podpadec has said in a statement. ôIt was a way of :,
: us practicing what we preach.ö :
:' ':
,: Read more: On the cover û Dream Wife: ôJust because weÆve got :,
: vaginas, it doesnÆt make us a ægirl bandÆö :
:' ':
,: æSo When You GonnaàÆ is not all heavy garage-punk, though. :,
: Though the album is made up of shorter, punchy tracks, it is :
:' filled, too, with more emotional, quieter heartfelt moments ':
,: too, which switches from riot grrrl band to indie anthems. The :,
: emotional crux of the album occurs on æTemporaryÆ, a song about :
:' miscarriage: ôIf the heartbeat fails / Know IÆm here / With a ':
,: full embrace / How is it to love and live temporary?ö ItÆs :,
: refreshing to see a topic usually so surrounded in shame sung :
:' about so openly, the band not shying away from describing the ':
,: pain miscarriage causes, but also uplifting the womxn who have :,
: experienced it. ôWith every loss, how do you carry through? / :
:' Know youÆre brave to jump back into / IÆll applaud itö. ':
,: :,
: On æAfter The RainÆ they address abortion, another taboo and :
:' difficult topic. As stories of reproductive justice and ':
,: abortion rights dominate headlines, Mj÷ll lay herself bare, :,
: revealing ôIÆm feeling very honest todayö on the first line of :
:' the song. Following in a similar vein to that of the bandÆs ':
,: 2017 song æSomebodyÆ, which explored sexual assault, the music :,
: slowly crescendos as Mj÷ll cries out: ôItÆs my choice, my life / :
:' iIÆs my body, my rightö. ':
,: :,
: The band are the queens of vocal asides, a fact no more apparent :
:' than on the title track, which sees spoken-word missive overlap ':
,: with electrifying screamed vocals. ôPull me closerö Mj÷ll sings :,
: before the whispered response: ôjust a little bit.ö Here theyÆre :
:' telling womxn to speak up for what they want, to be unashamed, ':
,: direct and fully communicate their desires. She repeats the :,
: lyric ôso when you gonna kiss me?ö over and over, until at the :
:' end, we get a classic Mj÷ll vocal aside in the punchline: ôToo ':
,: bad they were a bad kisser.ö :,
: :
:' So æWhen You Gonna..Æ is also a call out to a disenfranchised ':
,: generation. Dream Wife challenge the next generation of singers, :,
: producers, mixers, writers, guitarists, filmmakers and more to :
:' just do it. ôYou do you / DonÆt waste your time with fools who ':
,: donÆt value youö. At its core, the album is about stopping :,
: waiting and starting doing, with a ænow or neverÆ attitude. On :
:' æRH RNÆ û a shortened version of the phrase æright here, right ':
,: nowÆ û the band repeat ôWe are the youngest we will ever be / We :,
: are the oldest we have ever been / Right here right nowö. ItÆs a :
:' call to live in the present, an invitation to stop waiting for ':
,: perfection and to use your talents as best you can. :,
: :
:' With a mixture of classic punk and dance-pop, Dream Wife also ':
,: hark back to the early New York sound of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, :,
: with a heavy dollop of riot grrrl attitude. The band have :
:' extended the ægirls to the frontÆ ethos into every part of ':
,: themselves, from production to music to live performances. With :,
: so much honesty packed into the 11 tracks, the album is an :
:' invitation and a challenge to go after what you want û without ':
,: apologising for it. :,
: :
:' ':
