Written collectively and shaped through  sessions in London, Chicago, Dublin and the Loire Valley, the record  refines the band's interplay between taut, exploratory guitar work and  Florence Shaw's precise spoken-word delivery. Themes of trust,  influence and uncertainty run throughout, with opening track \u003ci\u003eHit  My Head All Day\u003c\/i\u003e setting the tone.

Here, the south London four-piece take their place in rock's avant garde, catalysing the Reaganite paranoia of early 80s US punk and hardcore with the dry strut of Keith Richards, stoner rock, dystopian degradation, playful no wave and pastoral fingerpicking, while Florence's delivery, meticulously calibrated to her bandmates' soundscapes, asserts her in a lineage of spoken-word artists stretching from Laurie Anderson to Life Without Buildings' Sue Tompkins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe follow-up to \u003ci\u003eStumpwork\u003c\/i\u003e started life in Peckham rehearsal spaces, all four members writing, playing and responding to each other in the room: in Dry Cleaning, music and lyrics form an inseparable, generative whole. Secret Love evolved through affirming sessions at Jeff Tweedy's Chicago studio the Loft and explosive ones with Gilla Band's Alan Duggan and Daniel Fox at Sonic Studios in Dublin, taking advantage of the sonic particulars of each space, and finally with Cate Le Bon at Black Box in the Loire Valley. After interviewing various potential producers, they picked Cate - an esteemed solo artist who has also made albums for Deerhunter, Devendra Banhart, Wilco and Horsegirl - for her unabashed positivity and openness. “Being in a room with them and hearing that vitality and life force that exists between them all, it's such a unique expression,” she says.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrust is Secret Love's guiding theme, as signified by compulsively catchy 'Hit My Head All Day' which opens the album. Powered by pistons of breathy synths and cresting arcs of guitar, Florence's signature mix of absurdism and sensitivity, “The song is about manipulation of the body and mind. The lyrics were initially inspired by the use of misinformation on social media by the far right. There are powerful people that seek to influence our behaviour for their own gain; to buy certain things, to vote a certain way. I find it hard to read people's intentions and decide who to trust, even in everyday life. It's easy to fall under the influence of a sinister stranger who seems like a friend. We took a playful approach to the song. At one point it had harmonica on it instead of a vocal. At the demo stage we were inspired by There's a Riot Goin' On by Sly and the Family Stone.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD album\u003cbr\u003e1.  Hit My Head All Day\u003cbr\u003e2.  Cruise Ship Designer\u003cbr\u003e3.  My Soul \/ Half Pint\u003cbr\u003e4.  Secret Love (Concealed in a Drawing of a Boy)\u003cbr\u003e5.  Let Me Grow and You'll See the Fruit\u003cbr\u003e6.  Blood\u003cbr\u003e7.  Evil Evil Idiot\u003cbr\u003e8.  Rocks\u003cbr\u003e9.  The Cute Things\u003cbr\u003e10.  I Need You\u003cbr\u003e11.  Joy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Secret Love is a wonderful album.” - MOJO's Album of the Month *****\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“The most important British guitar band of their generation.” - Uncut\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Their best work yet.” - Record Collector's Album of the Month ****\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“The most important album of 2026 before its even begun.” - The Standard\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“It all works to powerful effect.” - The Guardian's Album of the Week ****\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Fantastically odd and quite affecting.” - The Sunday Times's Album of the Week ****\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/dry-cleaning\" title=\"Click to see complete listing of Dry Cleaning\"\u003eDry Cleaning\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for complete listing)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/it\/pages\/search-results-page?q=Dry+Cleaning+Secret+Love\" title=\"Click to see more products with the title Secret Love\"\u003e Secret Love\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more of the same title)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/strong\u003e - 09 Jan 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Release\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Year of Release\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e - CD album (CDLP)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Label\u003c\/strong\u003e - 4AD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue No\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/it\/pages\/search-results-page?q=4AD0868CD\" title=\"Click to see more products with the catalogue number 4AD0868CD\"\u003e4AD0868CD\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/uk-imports\" title=\"Click to see more items from United Kingdom (UK)\"\u003eUnited Kingdom (UK)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional info\u003c\/strong\u003e - Wallet Sleeve, Sealed, Picture Sleeve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/it\/pages\/search-results-page?q=191400086821\" title=\"Click to see more items with the barcode 191400086821\"\u003e191400086821\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e - Factory sealed from new.
