About
Dry Cleaning, an English post-punk band known for their speak-song vocals and unconventional lyrics, recently delivered a unique and subdued performance for NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concert series. The band, formed in 2017 in South London, showcased their recontextualized sound from World of Echo, a record store in East London. Led by vocalist Florence Shaw, guitarist Tom Dowse, bassist Lewis Maynard, and drummer Nick Buxton, Dry Cleaning's music has been likened to the styles of Wire, Magazine, and Joy Division. Their debut album, "New Long Leg," released in April 2021, garnered widespread critical acclaim, with subsequent release "Stumpwork" in October 2022 receiving further praise. This Tiny Desk performance highlighted the band's dynamic range and artful blend of post-Brexit post-punk elements in an intimate setting, offering fans a fresh perspective on their established sound.
