A study in contrasts, Dry Cleaning combines intense instrumentation with Florence Shaw's nuanced, spoken-word musings about the surreal and the mundane. The South London band introduced their taut, swaggering sound with EPs such as 2018's Meghan Markle-referencing Sweet Princess, but by the time of 2021's acclaimed debut album New Long Leg, their music touched on dream pop and psychedelia. Dry Cleaning expanded further on 2022's '90s indie rock-influenced Stumpwork and 2023's Swampy EP, but still held their musical forays together with insightful observations and dry, absurdist humor. In 2017, guitarist Tom Dowse, bassist Lewis Maynard, and drummer Nick Buxton -- all veterans of the southeast London punk and hardcore scene for whom music had become a pastime rather than a career -- started playing instrumental post-punk inspired by the likes of the Feelies, the Clean, and the B-52's. As they searched for a vocalist to complete the band's lineup, Dowse thought of his old friend and Royal College of Art classmate Shaw. An illustrator and visiting university lecturer, Shaw grew up in a musical family and had a fondness for classic British indie bands such as the Specials, the Smiths, and Sea Power. She joined Dry Cleaning in early 2018 after some convincing, and her seemingly detached delivery of lyrics pieced together from her artwork, overheard conversations, newspapers, and advertising added another layer to the band's music. Once their lineup was complete, Dry Cleaning recorded their debut EP Sweet Princess -- which featured the single "Magic of Meghan," a song combining Shaw's feelings about a recent breakup and Meghan Markle -- in one day and self-released it later in 2018. They began playing shows that May, making their live debut at Dalston's Shacklewell Arms. Another self-released EP, Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks (named for the band's rehearsal space) arrived in October 2019. Around that time, the It's OK label released a compilation of the two EPs that reached number 36 on the U.K. Indie chart. The group's consistent touring included U.S. dates just before the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic in early 2020; by the end of the year, Dry Cleaning signed to 4AD and issued the single "Scratchcard Lanyard." The song also appeared on April 2021's full-length New Long Leg, which they recorded with producer John Parish at Rockfield Studio in Wales. The album peaked at number four on the U.K. Albums chart and earned widespread critical acclaim. In the wake of this success, Dry Cleaning contributed their version of Grimes' "Oblivion" to the 4AD 2021 benefit cover compilation Bills & Aches & Blues. Their other releases that year included July's single "Bug Eggs/Tony Speaks!" and November's Tascam Tapes, a limited-edition EP of four-track versions of New Long Leg songs. For their second album, Dry Cleaning reunited with Parish, recording at Rockfield Studios and in Bristol, England. The band took more time to record October 2022's Stumpwork, which broadened their sound to include influences from '90s indie rock and took songwriting inspiration from U.K. politics, the joy of playing video games, and keeping in touch with distant friends. Reaching number 11 in the U.K., the album peaked at number 13 on the Heatseekers chart in the U.S. Early in 2023, Stumpwork's art directors won the award for Best Recording Package at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. That March, Dry Cleaning issued the Swampy EP, a collection of previously unreleased songs and demos from the Stumpwork sessions and reworkings of the album's tracks by Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul and Nourished by Time. In March 2023, 4AD reissued Sweet Princess/Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks.

Staying in my room is what I like to do anyway If you like this you may like Weird weird weird weird You're weird It's a weird premise for a show But I like it! This seems like a weird premise for a show But I like it! It's what money's for isn't it For spending Dance song about dancing Grooving Sliding Shuffle time Feeling free Feeling mobile Huge, rotten football Where is the hospital Moped meet Moped alleyway spot Moped life A kid's laugh yodels out in the darkness I will risk slow death for Chinese spring roll Liberty Log Our Liberty Log Our Liberty Log Our Liberty Log Our Liberty Log She said I'm glad you girls could make it Our Liberty Log Icebergs Whilst traveling a parasite buried itself in my head It took me over and it had to be removed by a specialist It can happen to anyone at any time Now some sounds hurt my ears We found your lingerie after you were gone And it made you seem so human And it made it seem like you had hopes and dreams and plans Sometimes it's hard to find a silver lining No kissing No smooching But there was a song if I can remember it Icebergs Icebergs Icebergs Icebergs Icebergs Icebergs Wax dries Chocolate washes out If you have the energy For a happy and exciting life Locally, nationwide or worldwide Stay interested in the world around you Keep the curiosity of a child if you can Resuscitator Swampy Bean bags bingo and a PlayStation 5 Bean bags bingo and a PlayStation 5 The premise is we're stuck down a mine, and now you choose who you want to save That pub where all those things happened is just called "Moo" now Some kind of burger thing Oh, yellow cistern with a big bolt that reminds me of the sports centre Under your layers of paint I see an "H" Misty, haa Can you hear me? Bean bags bingo and a PlayStation 5 Bean bags bingo and a PlayStation 5 We thought they might be ashamed They weren't, they weren't We thought they might be ashamed But they weren't Look, contact me for all kinds of spells Bring bags of smashings Then we'll cast in concrete PlayStation 5 PlayStation 5 PlayStation 5 In a concrete front garden, plants grow around the edges of each slabs This leaves a bare patch in their centres In the bare patch, a rotting citrus fruit sits This creates an ambience, a locus of points, exclusivising the fruit Where can I buy a prism in the shape of a ball Where can I buy a UK prism ball I'm, I'm refreshing, and I'm refreshing Bear witness Pass no comment Simply be there to see it The citrus fruit back to its brilliant best

Oblivion (originally by Grimes) I never walk about after dark It's my point of view 'Cause someone could break your neck Coming up behind you Always coming and you'd never have a clue I never looked behind all the time I will wait forever Always looking straight Thinking counting all the hours you wait See you on a dark night See you on a dark night See you on a dark night See you on a dark night And no, I'm not a jerk I would ask if you could help me out It's hard to understand 'Cause when you're runnin' by yourself It's hard to find someone to hold your hand I know it's good to be tough like me But I would wait forever I need someone else To look into my eyes and tell me "Girl, you know you've got to watch your health" To look into my eyes and tell me La la la la la To look into my eyes and tell me La la la la la La la la la la La la la la la La la la la la La la la la la See you on a dark night See you on a dark night See you on a dark night See you on a dark night See you on a dark night See you on a dark night See you on a dark night See you on a dark night See you on a dark night
