Dry Cleaning Announce Debut LP 'New Long Leg', Stream "Strong Feelings"

London post punk four-piece Dry Cleaning have announced the release of their long-awaited debut album 'New Long Leg'.

The 10-track album, which includes their new single "Strong Feelings" and last year’s single ‘Scratchcard Lanyard’, was recorded over two weeks last summer at Rockfield Studios in rural Wales with producer John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding), and will be out on 2nd April through 4AD. Pre-order your copy here.

Following on from their thrillingly taut 2019 EPs Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks and Sweet Princess, New Long Leg is more ambitious and complex, with Shaw’s spoken vocals tightly intertwined with the band’s restless instrumentals.

With lyrics preoccupied by themes like dissociation, escapism, daydreaming, complicated feelings of love, anger, revenge, anxiety, the kitchen, lethargy, forgetfulness, and survival, Shaw says, “the title is ambiguous; a new long leg could be an expensive present or a growth or a table repair.”
