Ahead of the release of their new album Secret Love on Friday (January 9), Dry Cleaning have shared one more single. The spiky, dryly hopeful ‘Joy’ – which follows ‘Let Me Grow and You’ll See The Fruit’, ‘Cruise Ship Designer’, and ‘Hit My Head All Day’ – was originally pieced together from advertisements in Virginia Tech University’s History of Food and Drink archive. Check it out below.
“Recently I’ve felt pessimistic about the world,” Florence Shaw commented in a press release. “The influence of what they call ‘the manosphere,’ the genocide against Palestinians continuing despite huge protests, the rise of the racist Reform party in the UK, the promotion of AI in art and music. I wanted to try and stoke my drive to stay positive and spread softness and compassion. The wishes in the song have a naive quality.”
