Secret Love is the third studio album by the English post-punk band Dry Cleaning, released on 9 January 2026 through 4AD Records and produced by the Welsh musician Cate Le Bon. It follows Stumpwork by more than three years and is their first album not produced by John Parish. Musically, the band continued to expand upon the post-punk style that defined their earlier work, and Florence Shaw's otherwise spoken word delivery increasingly relied on sung vocals. After starting to write new material in summer 2024, Dry Cleaning recorded a series of demos at various studios, including Wilco's The Loft in Chicago and Gilla Band's Sonic Studios in Dublin, before deciding on Le Bon to produce. With her, they re-recorded almost everything at Black Box Studios in the Loire Valley, France, in mid-2025. The album was led with the single "Hit My Head All Day" in late September 2025, followed by "Cruise Ship Designer", "Let Me Grow and You'll See the Fruit", and "Joy". Upon release, Secret Love was met with widespread critical acclaim and debuted at no. 12 on the UK Albums Chart. An outtake from the sessions, "Sliced by a Fingernail", followed in late March 2026 as a standalone single.
