| The London quartet Dry Cleaning is a true indie darling. Since their 2021 debut ‘New Long Leg’, the band has been regarded as one of the most distinctive and celebrated British guitar bands. Central to this are the absurdist, stream-of-consciousness-style lyrics of Florence Shaw. Built from random observations and hastily jotted-down mental tangents, and delivered on stage with bone-dry diction, they brim with sharp one-liners, Dadaist musings, and everyday reflections. Around this, drummer Nick Buxton, guitarist Tom Dowse, and bassist Lewis Maynard construct an electrifying musical framework that draws on indie rock, post-punk, and no wave. Their third album, ‘Secret Love’ (2026), was partly recorded in the studio of Jeff Tweedy and produced by Cate Le Bon. Live, the band toys with the traditional expectations of a pop concert. As cerebral as it is irresistible, Dry Cleaning thus flirts with the boundaries between rock show, spoken word, and performance. |
