Trophy Wife took an experimental approach of using a different producer for each of the 5 tracks on 'Bruxism' which is the inaugural release on Blessing Force’s newly launched record label. They travelled to Berlin to work with acclaimed electronic artist/producer Ewan Pearson, then collaborated with Oxford acolytes Andrew Halford and Yannis Philippakis from Foals on the EP's closing track 'Wolf'. The title track has been produced by James Yuill whilst the EP’s opener 'Canopy Shade' brought Trophy Wife together with one of their longstanding musical heroes, Plaid.
'Canopy Shade' is streaming on the band's soundcloud channel here: http://soundcloud.com/trophywifeband/trophy-wife-canopy-shade-1/ (fully embeddable soundcloud player) and you can watch the official 'Canopy Shade' video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8G0YRWK4GU

Oxford's Blessing Force is an ever growing community of artists, musicians and writers staging multimedia gigs & exhibitions, releasing records, managing bands and publishing literature. The label arm is run by Andrew Mears (Pet Moon) and his former Youthmovies bandmate Al English.
Trophy Wife record as a trio but will perform live as a four-piece, incorporating Andrew Halford, for these UK tour dates.
Promo copies of 'Bruxism' should be with you now but get in touch if you would like a private digital link.
