Dream Wife - Somebody

With every next step, Dream Wife are looking like the total package.

Dream Wife - Somebody
“I am not my body, I am somebody,” Rakel Mjöll repeats in Dream Wife’s new single, and it sounds like the band’s biggest statement to date. A crushing damning of male entitlement and rape culture, it’s the most vicious and strong the trio have ever sounded, with a confidence that’s hurtling them forward on their path to being an extremely big band.Recently supporting Sleigh Bells and with slots alongside The Kills in the near future, Dream Wife possess as much bite as the rock behemoths they’re playing alongside, while also channelling the uber-cool indie of ‘Is This It?’-era The Strokes. With every next step, Dream Wife are looking like the total package.
