"Dry Cleaning are back with another new album. The London-based post-punk band will release Secret Love, their upcoming third LP, on January 9 via 4AD. They're ringing in that news today by sharing the lead single "Hit My Head All Day," which you can listen to below. "The song is about manipulation of the body and mind," explains singer Florence Shaw."
""The lyrics were initially inspired by the use of misinformation on social media by the far right. There are powerful people that seek to influence our behavior for their own gain; to buy certain things, to vote a certain way. I find it hard to read people's intentions and decide who to trust, even in everyday life. It's easy to fall under the influence of a sinister stranger who seems like a friend.""
"The four-piece fleshed out the 11-track album over a series of sessions around the world, beginning with a stop at Jeff Tweedy's Chicago studio The Loft, and louder takes with Gilla Band's Alan Duggan and Daniel Fox at Dublin's Sonic Studios. In the end, Dry Cleaning tapped Cate Le Bon to produce the album, heading out to France's remote Black Box to record with the experimental indie rock figure."
Dry Cleaning, a London-based post-punk band, will release their third studio album Secret Love on January 9 via 4AD. The lead single "Hit My Head All Day" centers on manipulation of the body and mind and takes lyrical inspiration from misinformation on social media and attempts by powerful actors to influence behavior and trust. The 11-track album was developed through sessions at Jeff Tweedy's The Loft in Chicago, louder takes with Gilla Band collaborators at Dublin's Sonic Studios, and final production with Cate Le Bon at France's remote Black Box. The band continues to tour through 2025 with U.S. and European dates.
