Whilst not as loud or as brash as their self-titled debut, So When You Gonna… is a record that shows Dream Wife bolder than ever, asking questions and opening doors that few are willing to look at. It asks you what you want and challenges you to go after it.

Not every band will take the right risks at the right time, but with Dream Wife it’s become glaringly obvious that innovation isn’t their strong suit.

If all else fails on the creative front, just throw in a guttural banshee wail and see what happens
Dream Wife’s sophomore effort is a far cry from their debut.
This just feels completely uninspired and none of the creative ideas presented on it click or mesh well at all. It’s a clunky mess of an album, and I actually enjoyed their first record. In our current indie and alt rock scene, there are heaps of albums that are better than this. You might honestly be best served avoiding ... read more

This is the most confused I've been on my opinions on an album in a while. About half of the tracks on 'So When You Gonna...' are quite good, the other half are either completely unmemorable and cheesy or downright mindbogglingly awful. So I guess it's a 4/10...?
so...this is pretty similar to the first album but I can feel some things they did better here rather than the debut, like exploring more rhythms and using in a more intelligent way the guitar sound, not sounding just only rebellious like the first
and After the Rain is a surprising outstanding track
