"'No Decent Shoes for Rain' is inspired by grief, grief over past relationships, grief for loved ones who have died, and all the things that come with that; loneliness, numbness, yearning, ruminating about the past," the band's Florence Shaw said in a statement.

Stumpwork, out October 21 via 4AD, was written and recorded following the death of two family members within the band. Dry Cleaning previously shared the singles "Don't Press Me" and "Gary Ashby."
