about

PET wife is a queer trans couple who independently produce experimental electro pop at Dirty Tailor Studios in Bushwick. Their romance began as a creative tête-á-tête sending playlists, poems, and art back and forth, ultimately culminating in a multi disciplinary concept project incorporating elements of fashion and performance art along a musical journey.
Our music is influenced by Italo Disco, Krautrock, High NRG, dance pop, art pop, and synth pop.

POLYCHROME is the duo’s first album. We wanted to rethink semiotic staples and loaded symbols. We started with a concept of the rainbow, the 7 colors inherent in what has come to be seen as the queer emblem. We were really interested in how visual matter is imbued with meaning, what we are conditioned to understand about things. We wanted to think about how to reconsider these colors as a starting point to take issue with language as we identify and label based on the words we are given. What happens when the words and symbols get hijacked, how do we disrupt corrupted signs and symbols, how can we reorient and reconsider how we identify and what we identify with.

The queer flag is becoming a cause for corporate greed, a bastion signaling acceptability so we too can worship the god of economy. This album has been about resistance and redefinition, about the process of identifying as queer, the pain and joy and power involved in learning and unlearning systems of hierarchy and oppression within our family, community, and our selves. The mood of the album is energetic, emotive, searching and tense ultimately releasing into an ecstatic finale. Each song has its own signature, its own mood and hue, yet strung together they create a storied journey rooted in ascension, harmony, and elation.
