Dry Cleaning has released a new track titled ‘Joy’.
Their third album, ‘Secret Love’, will be available on January 9th through the esteemed independent label 4AD.
Following several exciting singles, including ‘Hit My Head All Day’, ‘Cruise Ship Designer’, and ‘Let Me Grow and You’ll See The Fruit’, the band is set to embark on a series of headline shows in the coming weeks.
Before this, they have shared one last teaser. With its undulating bassline and intertwining guitars, ‘Joy’ could easily venture into darker territory; however, enhanced by Florence Shaw's vocals, it transforms into a remedy for negativity, illuminating the gloom.
Florence Shaw remarks…
“Lately, I’ve been feeling quite pessimistic about the state of the world. The influence of what’s referred to as 'the manosphere', the ongoing genocide against Palestinians despite significant protests, the rise of the racist Reform party in the UK, and the promotion of AI in art and music have all contributed to this feeling. I aimed to reignite my motivation to remain positive and foster softness and compassion. The sentiments expressed in the song carry a certain naivety.”
The BULLYACHE-choreographed visualizer is now available, featuring the band’s own Tom Dowse. He shares…
“We wanted to move away from the longer, more narrative and impressionistic structures typical of music videos. Instead, we aimed to create a means for ourselves, friends, and fans to connect with the music in a more expressive and personal manner.”
“We’ve noticed the diverse ways people engage at our shows – from enthusiastic singalongs and wild dance-offs to individuals experiencing the sound in their own unique ways. Keeping this in mind, we commissioned Bullyache to create a set of moves for each track on Secret Love as a foundation for us and others to interpret or replicate in a fun and personal fashion, regardless of skill level.”
