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 (2022) 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.
