Dry Cleaning Share Final Single from Secret Love

When listening through the lyrical content of the latest Dry Cleaning single, it might come as a surprise that the initial concept came to be through the viewing of advertisements in the Virginia Tech History of Food and Drink archives…but, it’s the message that should resonate as we turn towards a new year. The theme of “being sweet” could mean many things, ultimately leading all of us to look to more kindness…to ourselves and community. What I love the most about this track is the way Florence Shaw switches up her typical spoken-word delivery into a charming little croon; you get your first chance to hear it right after the 30 second mark. Wonder what else the group have in store for us when Secret Love drops on Friday via 4AD. Here’s to more “Joy” in 2026.
