After announcing their signing to the independent record label 4AD in 2020,[2] Dry Cleaning's debut full-length record New Long Leg was released in 2021 and was produced by John Parish.[3] The album peaked on the UK Albums Chart at no. 4, the band's highest position to date in their native UK. In addition, it topped the UK Independent Albums Chart, and it charted in several other countries, including Belgium, Germany, Ireland, and Portugal. This was followed by an EP of demos from the album's sessions entitled Tascam Tapes later that year.[4]
The band's second studio album, Stumpwork (2022), was again produced by John Parish.[5] While not as successful on the UK charts (landing at no. 11), it had fared better than their debut in Germany and Belgium's Flanders region. The compilation EP Swampy followed in 2023. Their third studio album Secret Love arrived in early 2026, more than three-and-a-half years after Stumpwork. This time, they were produced by the Welsh singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon.[6] It performed similarly to their second album on the UK charts, though it was their best-charting record in Germany up to that point, reaching the top 50.
