Dry Cleaning have released a deluxe edition of their third album, 'Secret Love', which came out in January.
The expanded version features the original record's tracklist alongside two new songs, I Have The Key and Grass, both of which serve up the South London band's post-punk sound and Florence Shaw's distinctive spoken-word delivery.
Both tracks arrive with videos by BULLYACHE, who also directed the promo for the South London band's recent single Sliced By a Fingernail, which also appears on 'Secret Love: Deluxe Edition'. BULLYACHE said:
"These are three short films that sum up our response to the record. We tried to contain all the beautiful conflicts and contrasts. Each video is a portrait of elation, grief, push and pull. With Nicole Nevitt and Sam Dilkes playing the differing poles of the songs; Nicole’s hair whipping against Sam’s exhaustive thrash against the luxury of the Mandrake Hotel."
Available digitally now, with a vinyl release set to follow on October 16, 'Secret Love (Deluxe Edition)' also boasts new artwork by Erica Eyres. Vocalist-bassist Lewis Maynard commented:
"As difficult as it is to choose the final tracklist, we’ve learned with previous records that songs which don’t make the album will see the light of day and sometimes even receive more attention. This is the first time we’ve released a deluxe edition, and we’re especially excited because it includes some of our favorite songs from the session."
The band supported the original album with shows across North America, Europe and the UK, and will continue their summer run of European festival dates with appearances at Latitude later this month and Green Man in August.
