SONG PICK: Dream Wife – After The Rain (Video)

Filed Under: Song Pick of the Day, Video — By: Oliver Bouchard

At glamglare, we have been fans of the music and live performances of British/Icelandic band Dream Wife ever since we saw them live during Iceland Airwaves 2016. They just released their excellent second full-length album (listen here) and while most tracks explode with energy, the closing track “After The Rain” strikes a different note.

Either way, the gentle guitar and her cheerful singing invites you to close your eyes and dream of a few days of joy far away from everything.
