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.”

Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for their new single "Strong Feelings", below.

Watch: ISLAND Return With New Single/Video "Octopus"

London indie rock/alt band ISLAND have returned with their new single "Octopus" and its accompanied video.

The song is out today (February 9). Get it here.

Speaking about it the band said: “‘Octopus’ describes the feeling of looking back on rebellious teenage years from a time where an impulse to cause trouble has been replaced with new sentiments. It’s about the conflict felt as a musician between wanting to grow older and wiser and wanting to stay young, and it asks if we as a world are only interested in stories, and whether normality is something to be desired. A world in which you might be persuaded to change yourself to fit in, like an octopus changes colour to adapt to its surroundings. The song ends by flirting with the idea of reverting back to old ways, and getting back to making trouble.”

MICROCORPS Reveals New Single "XEM" Feat. Gazelle Twin

MICROCORPS, the new electronic project by London artist and musician Alex Tucker (Grumbling Fur, Alexander Tucker, Imbogodom) has revealed his new single "XEM", featuring Gazelle Twin.

The song is taken from his forthcoming debut release 'XMIT', an eight-track album featuring collaborations with Gazelle Twin, Nik Void, Simon Fisher Turner and Astrud Steehouder, is out on 16 April via Alter. Pre-order your copy here.

Tucker’s ever-evolving soundworld continues to unfold with this collection of harsh realms centred around processed electronic systems, strings and vocal manipulations. On the new album, MICROCORPS employs altered voices, sound synthesis and atomised beat constructions. In a move away from previous projects XMIT investigates erasing the self, removing obvious traits of the hand and voice, and allowing a focus on the humanoid rather than the human. Instead of recognisable lyrics and coherent imagery, MICROCORPS evolved synthesised voices to generate alternate characters.

He expands, “I was investigating how language brings our world into being and how manipulating the actual grain of the voice could open up momentary shifts in perception.”
