Dry Cleaning announce debut album with new cut "Strong Feelings"

09 February 2021, 17:24 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

South London quartet Dry Cleaning have announced their debut album New Long Leg, alongside unveiling new single "Strong Feelings" to accompany the news.

"Strong Feelings" is the second song to be shared from Dry Cleaning's debut LP, after last year's "Scratchcard Lanyard", and is teamed with a Tom Dowse-directed video featuring glitch art by Sabato Visconti.

Lead vocalist Florence Shaw says of the new single, "It’s about secretly being in love with someone who doesn’t know it, and Brexit’s disruptive role in romantic relationships."

New Long Leg was recorded over the course of two weeks in summer 2020 at Rockfield Studios in Wales with producer John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding).

Shaw adds of the album title, "The title is ambiguous; a new long leg could be an expensive present or a growth or a table repair."

Tracklist:

  1. Scratchcard Lanyard
  2. Unsmart Lady
  3. Strong Feelings
  4. Leafy
  5. Her Hippo
  6. New Long Leg
  7. John Wick
  8. More Big Birds
  9. A.L.C
  10. Every Day Carry
"Strong Feelings" is out now. Dry Cleaning's New Long Leg album will land via 4AD on 2 April, and is available to pre-order now.
