The third album from the London-based group consisting of lyricist \u003cstrong\u003eFlorence Shaw\u003c\/strong\u003e, guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eTom Dowse\u003c\/strong\u003e, drummer \u003cstrong\u003eNick Buxton\u003c\/strong\u003e and bassist \u003cstrong\u003eLewis Maynard\u003c\/strong\u003e received glowing accolades across the globe. Now, Dry Cleaning announce this expanded version, \u003cem\u003eSecret Love (Deluxe Edition)\u003c\/em\u003e, featuring three brand-new tracks recorded during album sessions with producer \u003cstrong\u003eCate Le Bon\u003c\/strong\u003e last year; \u003cem\u003eGrass\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eI Have The Key\u003c\/em\u003e, and the recently released single, \u003cem\u003eSliced by a Fingernail\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the deluxe edition, \u003cstrong\u003eBULLYACHE\u003c\/strong\u003e (who choreographed visualisers for all 11 songs of \u003cem\u003eSecret Love\u003c\/em\u003e), joined forces with the band again to visuals for the three new tracks, all shot at the Mandrake Hotel in London. \u003cem\u003eSecret Love (Deluxe Edition)\u003c\/em\u003e also features alternate \u003cstrong\u003eErica Eyres\u003c\/strong\u003e artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBassist Lewis Maynard comments: “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 favourite songs from the session.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlorence Shaw says: “The three new songs have a lot of tenderness and vulnerability to them. They’re about feelings of love and loss but also humour that comes along with those heavy feelings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSliced by a Fingernail\u003c\/em\u003e is about looking for places to hide; fantasies like packing yourself into the centre of a huge flower bud, but also more everyday ones like being part of the crowd at a karaoke bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrass\u003c\/em\u003e is about grieving for someone still alive. The lyrics use some metaphors from nature inspired by two trips; one to see the melting Rhône Glacier in Switzerland and the other to Laurissilva, the ‘living fossil’ ancient forest on the island of Madeira. Whilst it has lots of imperfections and was a bit improvised, Cate [Le Bon, producer] had a real affinity for the vocal performance we chose for this track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lyrics to \u003cem\u003eI Have The Key\u003c\/em\u003e came from a feeling of sadness and helplessness at the state of the world. The genocide in Gaza had begun around the time I was writing some of the lyrics. The saxophone part was improvised by \u003cstrong\u003eBruce Lamont\u003c\/strong\u003e at the Loft studio in Chicago, and the structure and delivery of the vocal, as well as the choice of words came as a response to his playing.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“These are three short films that sum up our response to the record,” say BULLYACHE. “We tried to contain all the beautiful conflicts and contrasts. Each video is a portrait of elation, grief, push and pull. With \u003cstrong\u003eNicole Nevitt\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSam Dilke\u003c\/strong\u003e playing the different poles of the songs, Nicole’s hair whipping against Sam’s exhaustive thrash against the luxury of the Mandrake Hotel.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry Cleaning’s \u003cem\u003eSecret Love (Deluxe Edition)\u003c\/em\u003e - a special expanded vinyl version - available exclusively via Dinked. The Purple and Mint double-LP will include alternate artwork, an updated 8-page booklet and a bonus one-sided 12” vinyl of the three new songs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"DINKED Edition INT06","offer_id":58588076769625,"sku":"SDZ-48822","price":36.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/INT_06_MAIN.png?v=1784045969","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/dry-cleaning-secret-love-deluxe-edition","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
