Trophy Wife are a three-piece, hotly-tipped act from Oxford. They employ a system of a pulsing funk-trance hybrid foundation jarred with neatly plucked guitars – a sound lifted heavily from the Oxford-scene blueprint of Foals (headline act in Trophy Wife’s recent tour).
Breakthrough track ‘Microlite’ begins with serene keyboards and soft drumming, and much like their support act, the vocal style is effeminate and earnest, lyrics begging “I hope you know the way”. Live, their set is fluid, and consists of songs that are non sequential and climatic, and an accompaniment of pattering drums reinforces the fluidity.
