Dry Cleaning is a 4-piece post-punk band from South London. Their first EP “Sweet Princess” was released in August 2019 from It’s OK records. Their second EP, “Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks” was released in October 2019. In March 2020 they signed their first major label contract with 4AD.
Dry Cleaning’s sound is perhaps most notable for the largely spoken-word vocals of frontwoman Florence Shaw, whose frequently hilarious lyrics (their debut EP begins, “during what was probably the longest two and a half months of my life, after a near death experience…the only thing that kept me going was Saw 2”) are often written in a cut-and-paste style (taken from both her own notes on life as well as found text), and then delivered completely deadpan in her solidly upper middle class Home Counties accent.
