Our Take

Dry Cleaning's debut album, "Stumpwork," is like a perfectly tailored suit - sleek, stylish, and oh-so sophisticated. This South London band may have come out of nowhere, but their sharp wit and post-punk sensibilities make them stand out in a sea of wannabes.

Right from the get-go, lead singer Florence Shaw's deadpan delivery grabs your attention, weaving stories of everyday mundanity with a touch of dark humour. It's like listening to your cool, no-nonsense friend recount their day over a pint at the pub - except with a killer bassline and infectious drum beats.

Songs like "Scratchcard Lanyard" and "Unsmart Lady" showcase Dry Cleaning's knack for turning the mundane into the mesmerizing. Shaw's spoken-word vocals, backed by Tom Dowse's angular guitar riffs and Nick Buxton's pulsating drums, create a hypnotic soundscape that draws you in and refuses to let go.

"Strong Feelings" is a standout track that perfectly encapsulates Dry Cleaning's unique blend of post-punk and spoken-word poetry. The juxtaposition of Shaw's sardonic lyrics with the band's frenetic energy is a match made in music heaven.

Overall, "Stumpwork" is a triumph of wit, style, and substance. Dry Cleaning may be newcomers to the scene, but with an album this strong, they're sure to be sticking around for a long time. So grab your best suit, crank up the volume, and let Dry Cleaning take you on a ride you won't soon forget.
