Dream Wife have shared news of their upcoming third album Social Lubrication, and have released their new single "Hot (Don’t Date A Musician)" to accompany the announcement.

"Hot (Don't Date A Musician)" is the group's first release of 2023, and will appear on their Social Lubrication album with November's "Leech". The punchy new single is teamed with a Bethany Fitter-directed video.

Lead vocalist Rakel Mjöll says of the single, "Dating musicians is a nightmare. Evoking imagery of late night make-outs with fuckboy/girl/ambiguously-gendered musicians on their mattress after being seduced by song-writing chat. The roles being equally reversed. Having a laugh together and being able to poke fun at ourselves is very much at the heart of this band. This song encapsulates our shared sense of humour. Sonically it is the lovechild of CSS and Motorhead. It has our hard, live, rock edge combined with cheeky and playful vocals."

Social Lubrication will follow their 2020 album So When You Gonna..., and is entirely self-written and self-produced.

The band describe their upcoming album as "Hyper lusty rock and roll with a political punch, exploring the alchemy of attraction, the lust for life, embracing community and calling out the patriarchy. With a healthy dose of playfulness and fun thrown in."

Tracklist:

  1. Kick In The Teeth
  2. Who Do You Wanna Be?
  3. Hot (Don’t Date A Musician)
  4. Social Lubrication
  5. Mascara
  6. Leech
  7. I Want You
  8. Curious
  9. Honestly
  10. Orbit

"Hot (Don't Date A Musician)" is out now. Dream Wife's Social Lubrication album will arrive on 9 June via Lucky Number, and is available to pre-order now.
