The third album from the\u003cbr\u003eLondon-based group consisting of lyricist Florence Shaw, guitarist Tom Dowse, drummer Nick Buxton and\u003cbr\u003ebassist Lewis Maynard received glowing accolades across the globe. Now, Dry Cleaning announce this\u003cbr\u003eexpanded version, Secret Love (Deluxe Edition), featuring three brand-new tracks recorded during album\u003cbr\u003esessions with producer Cate Le Bon last year; ‘Grass’, ‘I Have The Key’, and the recently released single,\u003cbr\u003e‘Sliced by a Fingernail’.\u003cbr\u003eFor the deluxe edition, BULLYACHE (who choreographed visualisers for all 11 songs of Secret Love), joined\u003cbr\u003eforces with the band again to visuals for the three new tracks, all shot at the Mandrake Hotel in London.\u003cbr\u003eSecret Love (Deluxe Edition) also features alternate Erica Eyres artwork.\u003cbr\u003eBassist Lewis Maynard comments: “As difficult as it is to choose the final tracklist, we\u0026amp;#39;ve learned with\u003cbr\u003eprevious records that songs which don\u0026amp;#39;t make the album will see the light of day and sometimes even receive\u003cbr\u003emore attention. This is the first time we\u0026amp;#39;ve released a deluxe edition, and we\u0026amp;#39;re especially excited because it\u003cbr\u003eincludes some of our favourite songs from the session.”\u003cbr\u003eFlorence Shaw says: “The three new songs have a lot of tenderness and vulnerability to them. They’re about\u003cbr\u003efeelings of love and loss but also humour that comes along with those heavy feelings.\u003cbr\u003e‘Sliced by a Fingernail’ is about looking for places to hide; fantasies like packing yourself into the centre of a\u003cbr\u003ehuge flower bud, but also more everyday ones like being part of the crowd at a karaoke bar.\u003cbr\u003e‘Grass’ is about grieving for someone still alive. The lyrics use some metaphors from nature inspired by two\u003cbr\u003etrips; one to see the melting Rhône Glacier in Switzerland and the other to Laurissilva, the ‘living fossil’\u003cbr\u003eancient forest on the island of Madeira. Whilst it has lots of imperfections and was a bit improvised, Cate [Le\u003cbr\u003eBon, producer] had a real affinity for the vocal performance we chose for this track.\u003cbr\u003eThe lyrics to ‘I Have The Key’ came from a feeling of sadness and helplessness at the state of the world. The\u003cbr\u003egenocide in Gaza had begun around the time I was writing some of the lyrics. The saxophone part was\u003cbr\u003eimprovised by Bruce Lamont at the Loft studio in Chicago, and the structure and delivery of the vocal, as well\u003cbr\u003eas the choice of words came as a response to his playing.”\u003cbr\u003e“These are three short films that sum up our response to the record,” say BULLYACHE. “We tried to contain\u003cbr\u003eall the beautiful conflicts and contrasts. Each video is a portrait of elation, grief, push and pull. With Nicole\u003cbr\u003eNevitt and Sam Dilke playing the different poles of the songs, Nicole’s hair whipping against Sam’s\u003cbr\u003eexhaustive thrash against the luxury of the Mandrake Hotel.”\u003cbr\u003eIn support of Secret Love, the year has already seen Dry Cleaning play shows across North America, the\u003cbr\u003eUnited Kingdom, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. The next leg of their tour takes the band to South\u003cbr\u003eAmerica and back to the UK and Europe for festival appearances including Rock en Seine, Green Man,\u003cbr\u003eLatitude, Sonic City, with more to be added.\u003cbr\u003eDry Cleaning’s Secret Love (Deluxe Edition) - a special expanded vinyl version - available exclusively\u003cbr\u003evia Dinked.
