Secret Love

Dry Cleaning are back, and they’ve brought Cate Le Bon along for the ride. Their third album, Secret Love, is said to be a thrilling, slightly sinister tumble through punk paranoia and stoner swagger. While the band’s signature avant-garde rock approach is in full swing, lead single ‘Hit My Head All Day’ sets the tone for a fresh direction, one where Cate Le Bon's touch brings a sly sense of fun. If that's on the cards we're all for it. - Flying Out

Dry Cleaning return with Secret Love, the group’s third studio album, produced by Cate Le Bon. Here, the south London four-piece take their place in rock’s avant garde, catalysing the Reaganite paranoia of early 80s US punk and hardcore with the dry strut of Keith Richards, stoner rock, dystopian degradation, playful no wave and pastoral fingerpicking, while Florence’s delivery, meticulously calibrated to her bandmates’ soundscapes, asserts her in a lineage of spoken-word artists stretching from Laurie Anderson to Life Without Buildings’ Sue Tompkins.  After interviewing various potential producers, they picked Cate – an esteemed solo artist who has also made albums for Deerhunter, Devendra Banhart, Wilco and Horsegirl – for her unabashed positivity and openness.
