Our last two posts on Dry Cleaning have led with the new album cover. I’m going to spare you that image here, though I continue to stand in awe (and horror) of it.

Today the band has shared “Gary Ashby,” the third single from their forthcoming Stumpwork. According to Dry Cleaning, the song is “a lament about a pet tortoise, escaped as a result of family chaos.” They continue, “We wrote it in December 2020, one of the first new songs after the New Long Leg session.” The band’s surreal, talky post-punk vibe is fully locked-in on this one; Florence Shaw’s droll singsong melds beautifully with guitars that alternately pierce and shimmer.

Listen below, where you can also find the band’s vastly expanded touring itinerary.
