Following last year’s critically acclaimed second LP, Stumpwork, London outfit Dry Cleaning announce Swampy, a new EP composed of two previously unreleased tracks, remixes and demos, out on 1 March. Today, the quartet release two new tracks, ‘Swampy’ and ‘Sombre Two’ of which the band says, “These two songs were recorded in the Stumpwork sessions and they feel like good companions to us. They share a dusty, desolate and spacey atmosphere. On the eve of this release we have been touring through the southwest USA, where these songs feel at home in the arid, Mars-like landscape of the Arizona desert.”
Also featured on Swampy are remixes from Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul and Nourished By Time, who supported Dry Cleaning on their recent North American tour. Tonight, Dry Cleaning begin the UK and European leg of their Stumpwork tour, with full dates listed below. Tickets are on sale now.
