    From KCRW DJ Jason Kramer:

    Not too long ago I came upon a band from England that grabbed my attention called Trophy Wife. They are a three-piece band from Oxford that released their debut single “Microlite” at the end of last year.

    Stream “Microlite”:

    The song is about a journey that never ends, with sparse melodies that are backed by a electrobeat. Trophy Wife have clearly taken a range of influence from acts like Tortoise and Germany’s The Notwist.

    Check out other outstanding tracks by them, like“ Take This Night” and “Quiet Earth” on label Moshi Moshi out of the UK. Also, watch the video for “Microlite” below.
