Post-punk band Dry Cleaning have announced their new album ‘Stumpwork’.
The London based group have also unveiled the first single from the project – ‘Don’t Press Me’.
Short and sweet at under two minutes, lead vocalist Florence Shaw says of the track: “The words in the chorus came about because I was trying to write a song to sing to my own brain.”
The band have also released an animated video for the single which you can watch below.
‘Stumpwork’ is scheduled to be released on 21 October and is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2021 debut ‘New Long Leg’.
