Dream Wife have shared a new single, Who Do You Wanna Be?.
Mixing punk energy and attitude with sharp, snappy guitar work and self-assertive vocals, it marks the latest single from the London-based trio's third album, 'Social Lubrication', due out on June 9 via Lucky Number.
"[It's] about running on the capitalist treadmill and falling face first on the pavement. Hollow slogans, social media activism without action, leftist infighting, monetising feminism, 'girl boss', all soul crushing nonsense. Capitalism consumes everything.
"We should tear down the unreachable anxiety filled idea of perfectionism and move from hyper individualised narrative to collective action to create hopeful, rebellious, collective, systems of care. This is a call to arms for change."
