Acclaimed South London post-punk quartet Dry Cleaning have revealed details of their forthcoming second album, Stumpwork, and shared its lead-off single Don’t Press Me.
Recorded with producer John Parish at Rockfield Studios in Wales, the 11-track album will be released by 4AD on October 21.
The record label say: ‘Stumpwork was inspired by a plethora of events, concepts, and political debacles, be they represented in the icy mess of ambient elements reflecting a certain existential despair, or the surprising warmth in celebrating the lives of loved ones lost through the previous year. Surrealist lyrics are as ever at the forefront – but there is a sensitivity now to the themes of family, money, politics, self-deprecation, and sensuality. Furious alt-rock anthems combine across the record with jangle pop and ambient noise, demonstrating the wealth of influences the band feed off and their deep musicality.’
