Dry Cleaning's "Strong Feelings" landed on 2 April 2021 as part of New Long Leg, the English post-punk band's debut album for 4AD. The music is credited to Nick Buxton, Tom Dowse, Lewis Maynard and Florence Shaw, the words to Shaw alone, and John Parish produced, working with the band between COVID-19 lockdowns after they'd had to postpone the tour behind their EPs Sweet Princess and Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks.
The album catches Shaw in transition. She still speaks rather than sings, but she was drifting away from the found texts she used to lean on and toward her own writing and observations, while the band went after a groovier sound and let drum machines into the room. The album drew wide acclaim and climbed to 4 on the UK chart.
