Dry Cleaning is a British post-punk band, known for their distinctive blend of spoken-word vocals and sharp, angular guitar rhythms. Formed in South London in 2018, the group consists of vocalist Florence Shaw, guitarist Tom Dowse, bassist Lewis Maynard, and drummer Nick Buxton. Their music is marked by Shaw's conversational, dryly humorous delivery, set against a backdrop of dynamic post-punk and indie rock instrumentals.

The band quickly garnered critical acclaim with their early EPs "Sweet Princess" and "Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks" in 2019, establishing their unconventional style. Dry Cleaning's debut full-length album "New Long Leg," released in 2021, further cemented their reputation for incisive lyrics and compelling compositions, receiving widespread praise and earning them a spot on many year-end best-of lists. They followed up with the "Swampy EP," demonstrating their continued evolution and experimentation while tackling themes ranging from the mundane to the surreal. As they continue to release new music, like the "Stumpwork" album and a string of 2022 singles such as "Gary Ashby" and "Anna Calls From The Arctic," Dry Cleaning stands out in the contemporary music scene for its unique artistry and engaging storytelling.
