Dry Cleaning will kick off 2026 with the release of their third album Secret Love. We’ve heard “Hit My Head All Day” and “Cruise Ship Designer,” and today the post-punks are sharing the sprawling spoken-word flourish “Let Me Grow And You’ll See The Fruit” along with some sad news.
The group was supposed to be hitting the road for a US tour in January, but the dates have been pushed back to May. Here’s what they said:
Aside from the great pleasure of sharing “Let Me Grow…” with you all today, it is with heavy hearts that we must also share some important news.
We have had to take the difficult decision to move our Jan/Feb ’26 US tour to May. This is due to a number of factors, not least of which the increasingly hostile economic forces that govern touring in the present day. Thankfully we have managed to reschedule the majority of the original shows and all tickets will remain valid, if that suits you, and refunds available if it does not. Regrettably, we have been unable to make this work for all dates due to the shortened routing. Refunds will be available from your place of purchase and we will do everything in our power to play for you as soon as we can.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. Love, D.C
On a happier note, “Let Me Grow And You’ll See The Fruit” is inspired by 60s folk act Pentangle, 2001: A Space Odyssey, ancient Roman poet Virgil, Robyn Rocket, and Joanna Sternberg. Singer Florence Shaw says, “The song is about hyper focus and loneliness. It’s confessional, like a diary entry, written in a stream of consciousness style.”
Below watch the music video for the track and see the band’s rescheduled tour dates.
