Dry Cleaning have released their new single ‘Cruise Ship Designer’ and announced a UK outstore tour

Dry Cleaning have unveiled their latest single ‘Cruise Ship Designer’, the second track from their forthcoming album ‘Secret Love’, which is set for release on 9th January 2026.

This new song follows the earlier release of ‘Hit My Head All Day’. Accompanying the single is a music video featuring band member Lewis Maynard performing a dance routine choreographed by BULLYACHE.

Vocalist and lyricist Florence Shaw says: “The song is about a cruise ship and hotel designer who’s skilled and paid well, but who doesn’t believe his role has real worth. He tries to enjoy it, and invests himself in meeting the challenges of the job.”

In addition to the new single, Dry Cleaning have announced a series of outstore performances across the UK in January 2026.
