Electro-indie-popsters Trophy Wife made a strong impression with their support slot for fellow Oxford boys Foals back at the tail-end of the Total Life Forever tour. Their sparse, calculated math/ tropical rhythms were the perfect opening for the evening. Months later I caught them making the job easier for Two Door Cinema Club by whipping the crowd into a shuffling frenzy with another great set.
This Joanna Newsom cover has the bands' trademark sound, that I have grown to love over their string of singles and a EP that have trickled out whilst they are putting the final touches to their début album.
In the meantime enjoy the above download and the amazing Microlite video.....
