Dry Cleaning

Dry Cleaning may not be a traditional moniker in the music industry, but they have certainly made a name for themselves as a boundary-pushing post-punk band from South London. Born from a long friendship among its four members - Florence Shaw, Tom Dowse, Lewis Maynard, and Nick Buxton - Dry Cleaning creates music that is both lyrically enigmatic and sonically captivating. Their work has garnered significant attention, colouring their impact on modern post-punk with a distinct, relatable hue. Subtle, yet high-powered, and brimming with unexpected literary references - their sound is as though T.S Eliot decided to jam with Joy Division.

Their music video for "Magic of Meghan," a homage to the Duchess of Sussex, is a representation of the band’s creative potential. The video features newcomer dancer Kemono L.Riot, delving into the frenzy of pop culture and media influence with a blend of satirical ambivalence. Another video worth mentioning is “Viking Hair,” both peculiar and captivating — it’s a curious watch that features a stately Asian Short-Clawed Otter in various urban landscapes. Now, here's where fact becomes slightly amusing; this wasn't staged – it turns out the otter is a real diva, "living" in London Zoo, no less! The occasional anomaly like this deserves credit for keeping the music scene delightfully unpredictable. Yet, their work has consistently garnered admiration from critics and fans, emphasizing the potency of their unique blend of philosophical lyrical sense and raw, experimental sound.
