Dry Cleaning New Long Leg

"Dry Cleaning are a great guitar band with a lead vocalist who carefully speaks her acerbically droll, often very funny lyrics, creating a sound that feels at once intimate and ominous..."
Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2021" -- "10 smartly textured tracks produced by PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. It's music that both demands and deserves undivided attention."
"Singer Florence Shaw's poetic narratives vacillate between funny and cynical -- the consistent eye of the hurricane in these melodic and moody tracks."
"[A] sleek, sculptural debut. For 40-plus minutes, Florence Shaw talk-sings of creature comforts and extravagances..."
"Dry Cleaning's music is counterbalanced by vocalist and lyricist Florence Shaw, whose pursed-lip, spoken delivery gives an added sense of surreality to her elliptical lyrics."
Billboard - "[Shaw's] poetic musings are as jagged and piercing as the band's coarse riffs, and as queasy as its murmuring bass grooves."
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he quartet's debut album sees them wade further into lyrical surrealism and musical experimentation."
Paste (magazine) - "Their stylishly alchemic art-rock juxtaposes nervy instrumentation from guitarist Tom Dowse, drummer Nick Buxton and bassist Lewis Maynard with vocalist Florence Shaw's hypnotic spoken-word delivery..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[A] droll album full of surreal images, bizarre obsessions, and sense memories. The cumulative effect of Florence Shaw's narration is inexplicably wonderful."
Clash (Magazine) - "'John Wick' is a dry, intense, implausibly dark performance, while 'More Big Birds' and 'ALC' demonstrate Dry Cleaning's intricate full band methodologies."
