Our Take

Dry Cleaning's debut album, "New Long Leg", is a collection of British English wit and charm wrapped up in a post-punk package. Hailing from South London, the band's unique blend of spoken word poetry and angular guitar riffs sets them apart from the rest of the contemporary music scene.

Lead vocalist Florence Shaw's deadpan delivery adds an air of nonchalance to the album's lyrics, which cover topics ranging from social awkwardness to modern technology. Tracks like "Scratchcard Lanyard" and "Her Hippo" showcase the band's ability to weave mundane details into captivating storytelling.

Guitarist Tom Dowse's intricate melodies provide the perfect backdrop for Shaw's sharp observations, while bassist Lewis Maynard and drummer Nick Buxton keep the rhythm tight and driving throughout. The band's sound is reminiscent of post-punk legends like Gang of Four and The Fall, but with a modern twist that feels fresh and exciting.

Overall, "New Long Leg" is a strong debut from Dry Cleaning, showcasing a band with a distinct voice and a knack for crafting catchy, thought-provoking songs. Fans of clever lyrics and angular guitar work will find plenty to love here. So put on your sharpest suit, grab a cup of tea, and give this album a spin. You won't be disappointed.
