Dream Wife Share New Single And Announce London Show

LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts) Today the London-based trio Dream Wife - vocalist Rakel Mjöll (she/her), guitarist Alice Go (she/her), bassist Bella Podpadec (they/them) - return with their first new material since 2020. A band with a reputation for a ferocious live show and championing bodily autonomy, their new song "Leech' addresses the double standards of power. "Do you hide behind the position you hold/ Do you hide behind the illusions of power/ The perception of power" Rakel sings before changing gears and screaming "The leech is out for blood."

The band says of the new single, "'It's an anthem for empathy. For solidarity. Musically tense and withheld, erupting to angry cathartic crescendos. The push and pull of the song lyrically and musically expands and contracts, stating and calling out the double standards of power. Nobody really wins in a patriarchal society. We all lose. We could all use more empathy. As our first song to be released in a while, we wanted to write something that feels like letting an animal out of a cage. It's out. And it's out for blood…"

"Leech" is out now via Lucky Number and is a taste of what's to come from Dream Wife in 2023.
In addition, they also announce a London show at Peckham Audio on Friday 25th November.
