Following the release of their debut album ‘New Long Leg’ back in April, Dry Cleaning are releasing a one-off double A-side single today!
Recorded at Rockfield Studios in July and August 2020 during the session for New Long Leg, ‘Bug Eggs’ and ‘Tony Speaks!’ were previously only available as bonus tracks.
As Florence Shaw says, “‘Bug Eggs’ is about the confidence that comes with age, fragility and sexual desire. The lyrics to ‘Tony Speaks!’ were written days after the Conservative party won the December 2019 UK election. I was thinking about climate change, environmental catastrophes and political campaigning.”
Have a listen below, and revisit our chat with Dry Cleaning from our April issue now!

4 Stars
