Dry Cleaning preview debut album with third single "Unsmart Lady"
Dry Cleaning are back with "Unsmart Lady", the third and final single to be lifted from their debut album New Long Leg which lands on Friday (2 April).
"Unsmart Lady" follows last week's cover of Grimes' "Oblivion" recorded as part of 4AD's 40th anniversary compilation Bills & Aches & Blues, and will appear on the band's highly-anticipated debut album alongside previous singles "Strong Feelings" and "Scratchcard Lanyard".
Lead vocalist and lyricist Florence Shaw says of the new outing, "'Fat Podgy, no make-up' - I was thinking about these things that are supposed to be a source of shame about your appearance and wanting to use them in a powerful way. Just trying to survive when you feel knackered and put-upon and shit about yourself, but you say, 'I don't care what I'm supposed to be'."
New Long Leg was recorded over the course of two weeks in summer 2020 at Rockfield Studios in Wales with producer John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding).
Shaw adds of the album title, "The title is ambiguous; a new long leg could be an expensive present or a growth or a table repair."
