Dry Cleaning have released a couple of new tracks.
‘Bug Eggs’ and ‘Tony Speaks!’ were both recorded during the band’s album sessions last year, and previously available as bonus tracks.
Florence Shaw explains: “‘Bug Eggs’ is about the confidence that comes with age, fragility and sexual desire. The lyrics to ‘Tony Speaks!’ were written days after the Conservative party won the December 2019 UK election. I was thinking about climate change, environmental catastrophes and political campaigning.”
The tracks arrive ahead of their upcoming tour in support of their recently-released debut ‘New Long Leg’, which will kick off on 10th November in Los Angeles.
4AD label mate Maria Somerville will support on the European dates, and PVA will join on the UK and Ireland leg.
