After a long gestation period that included the release of several teasers in the form of a video collage, Trophy Wife have just released their debut album.

The eponymous (that means that it’s called Trophy Wife, fact fans) eleven-track album is streaming online for free and can also be downloaded on a ‘pay what you like basis’. According to the accompanying blurbage, it “sees the band push the outer extremities of their sound whilst retaining the same mechanical dance pulse of their earliest material”.

In a surprising announcement, Trophy Wife have announced that the album’s release will mark the end of the band for the time being. Here’s what they have to say:

“We’re going to be turning our attention to making some new music after this which means we’re going to be putting Trophy Wife to rest. We’ve lived and breathed this band for the last three years and it feels like the right time for us to move on after the release of an album we truly love and are all incredibly proud of.

“We’ve also planned a handful of shows to celebrate the release. We’ve loved this band so much and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has in anyway connected with our songs, videos, live shows and artwork and helped make this happen for us.”

Trophy Wife will play O2 Academy 2 in Oxford on 14 June. More details about that here.
