Dream Wife unveil the title track from their forthcoming album Social Lubrication

06 June 2023, 14:25 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Ahead of the release of their third studio album, Social Lubrication, on Friday (9 May), Dream Wife share its title track.

Dream Wife have previously shared four tracks from the album – “Who Do You Wanna Be?” about their takes on capitalism and faux-activism, “Orbit”, the tongue-in-cheek “Hot (Don’t Date A Musician)” and the album's lead single “Leech”.

Today, they unveil the final single ahead of the album's release. “Social Lubrication" serves as a rally against the patriarchy as they call out unsolicited advice and gendered violence.

“Exhausted. Done with being polite, done with sugar coating, placating, and pandering to patriarchal bullshit. Wanting to just exist, in this body without being pigeon-holed or judged for the bodies we exist in. Do the job well. Show up. Not play other people games. You can’t fix something rotten to the core - we need revolution not reform,” note the band on the track.

The single is accompanied by a self-made music video from the band with influences spanning from their album art to the Yellow Jackets opening sequence.

To celebrate the release of Social Lubrication, Dream Wife will play a sold-out launch party where they are set to perform the album in full to an intimate crowd at The George Tavern on 8 June.

"Social Lubrication" is out now. Dream Wife's third studio album, Social Lubrication, will arrive on 9 June via Lucky Number, and is available to pre-order now.
