DREAM WIFE Share New Single 'Orbit' & Announce US Tour Dates

London-based trio Dream Wife - vocalist Rakel Mjöll (she/her), guitarist Alice Go (she/her), bassist Bella Podpadec (they/them) - recently announced their electrifying third album, Social Lubrication, out June 9th via Lucky Number.

The band have already shared two singles - the cheeky "Hot (Don't Date A Musician)" and the rock-heavy call-to-arms "Leech" - and made an explosive return stateside for a packed SXSW, and today they're back with a new single and the announcement of U.S. tour dates.

Produced by the band's own Alice Go, "Orbit" finds Dream Wife at their best as they gear up to release their new record. "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," the band explains.

"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."

Known for their powerful live show that tore its way through Austin last month, Dream Wife will play a string of U.S. dates this Fall, including Brooklyn, Los Angeles, San Franciso and more. See below to find a show near you, and get your tickets HERE.

Social Lubrication is an entirely self-written and self-produced album, mixed by duo Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Killers, Depeche Mode) and Caesar Edmunds (Wet Leg, Beach House).

The album finds the band once again playfully tackling big subjects like bodily autonomy, dismantling the patriarchy and using your platform for the greater good, while truly translating the visceral nature of their riotous live shows to tape for the first time.

Social Lubrication follows their UK Top 20 breakthrough with their sophomore record So When You Gonna.... What came next was remixes for the likes of Rina Sawayama, Nova Twins and Porridge Radio, and international touring at festivals such as Lollapalooza (US), Laneway (AU), Summersonic (JP), Primavera (ES) and Pitchfork (FR) as well as opening slots for Garbage, The Kills, and even the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park.
