After recording some songs and posting them online, Dream Wife somehow managed to book a month-long Canadian tour.
Weve never seen that film!
It got bad reviews, so we havent watched it yet.
The name which she says they adopted before we played a note together is a bolder piece of commentary.
The wife [became] a kind of thing, a possession to tick all the boxes.
Something magical happens in the space when were together, she says.
The band still finds room for humor among their enticing, razor-sharp fusion of punk and disco-influenced rhythms.
Take F.U.U., a thrilling cut that oscillates between Im gonna fk you up!
and an interpolation of the hook from Spice Girls Wannabe.
The connection to the iconic pop group wasnt tossed off.
They make you feel good about being a female, Mjoll says.
They made small girls feel like badasses!
The song will appear on their forthcoming debut which required them to get in touch with their idols.
We had to extend a handwritten letter to the Spice Girls, Mjoll shares.
We got a reply from Sporty Spice and she was happy for us to use it!
I feel amazed that Sporty Spice read my handwritten letter.
The song is a living organism, she says.
Its changing and has its own life.
When we write, we write for our live show, because thats the most fun.
Thats why you do music.
Hear Dream Wifes new single Lets Make Out above.
