Dry Cleaning Share "Anna Calls From The Arctic"
London-based 4-piece Dry Cleaning have released their second single, “Anna Calls From The Arctic,” off their highly-anticipated second album, ‘Stumpwork,’ out 21 October, via 4AD.

This then took shape during our pre-recording sessions with John Parish and Joe Jones in Bristol and finalized at Rockfield studios a month later, with some musical inspiration coming from the dramatic scores of John Barry.
