The hype surrounding the Icelandic-British trio Dream Wife has been boiling on a steadily growing flame for over a year now. At the Reeperbahn Festival 2017, front woman Rakel Mj?ll and her colleagues Alice Go and Bella Podpadec presented the songs of their long overdue debut album in Molotow, which was filled to the brim. When exactly this would appear, however, the band remained silent for a long time. The self-titled debut of the London-based band is now available. Founded in 2015 as a project as part of her studies at the art school, the name was intended as a commentary on the objectivisation of women in society, Dream Wife quickly became one of the hottest UK underground acts. Celebrated for their furious live shows and endless tours, which gave them sold-out gigs all over the UK and invitations to international festivals such as Iceland Airwaves, Roskilde, SXSW or the Reeperbahn Festival. Soon other bands became aware of Dream Wife. The Kills invited the band at the beginning of the year to accompany them on a California tour and were very impressed by the presence of the newcomers.
