Dry Cleaning have announced details of a new album and shared lead single "Don't Press Me." The song, which you can hear below, will feature on the U.K. post-punk band's Stumpwork, due via 4AD on October 21.
In a statement "Don't Press Me" is described as being "about the pleasure of gaming and the enjoyment of intense and short-lived guilt-free experiences." Vocalist Florence Shaw says, "The words in the chorus came about because I was trying to write a song to sing to my own brain, “You are always fighting me / You are always stressing me out'."
Stumpwork is the follow-up to Dry Cleaning's 2021 debut New Long Leg. It was recorded with producer John Parish at Rockfield Studios in Wales. See below for Dry Cleaning's upcoming live dates.
