Trophy Wife is an up and coming Oxford group whose sound is most aptly described by the band's Myspace: "Ambitionless office disco/commuter pop." A new fixture on London label Moshi Moshi alongside the likes of Hot Chip and Lykke Li, Trophy Wife sounds somewhat like a mellower Two Door Cinema Club or a more intricate Whitest Boy Alive. TW relies on dry guitars, punchy upbeat drums, and what sounds like a string quartet to round out their sound. It's poppy but also contemplative, upbeat but sometimes lofi, altogether definitely worth a listen.
Their single is titled Microlite and it's fantastic. You can download it here but you should go buy the 7" for the full experience.
