Dry Cleaning release their debut studio album ‘New Long Leg’ on 4AD. The 10-track long-player, which includes ‘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). 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.” Available to independent retailers on opaque yellow coloured vinyl
