London-based and British/Icelandic born Dream Wife have released their Fire EP, a collection of four remixes of their latest single of the same name; “Fire” (biLLLy remix) .
Earlier in the week, Gorilla vs. Bear premiered the Ellie Herring remix. Of this edit, Dream Wife had to say: “In Ellie’s remix of ‘Fire’ the song takes on a new and moody form. It’s exciting to hear this transformation of something so familiar to us.”
Ellie commented: “Remixing ‘Fire’ was challenging in the sense that I did what I normally do by creating 12 edits in 3 different genres… but then multiply that by 10. I’m exaggerating, but this production timeline really caught me in one of my more indecisive stints of 2017 & I overworked it until pigs flew. Fortunately Dream Wife handed over a lot of great cuts from the original; I pulled off the shredding guitar riffs & focused more on keeping Rakel’s vocal lead towards the front. The remix ended up more of a rework, but in a format that I’ve been playing out lately.”

PRAISE FOR DREAM WIFE
“Dream Wife have made the perfect song for Leo season.”
The FADER
“Icelandic-Brightonian three-piece with the attitude of New York
punks and pizazz of disco queens.”
The Guardian
“A well-oiled machine worthy of the Strokes but performed with the righteous
indignation of Bikini Kill…snappy, punk-informed rock ‘n’ roll.”
Stereogum
“Dream Wife is a perfect example of what makes SXSW special,
the discovery and excitement of seeing something real that
has feeling and meat to it, and makes you grateful you
were there to witness it.”
NPR Music
“Dream Wife offer a soundtrack ripe for a punk Sofia
Coppola movie soundtrack.”
