Florence often channels this fun but dark persona and I think she enjoys playing this type of character. It's like Jodie Comer when she found it cathartic playing psychopathic assassin Villanelle in the TV show Killing Eve. Florence is a lovely person who has a laugh with the band and the audience between songs but during the songs it's as if she's in character or in her performance persona. It's great to watch her perform.

yeah, good post punk guitarrist

I just stumbled across this song. My daughter was listening to her playlist on auto and she'd left the room while i was cleaning the kitchen and after 20 seconds I had to stop to find out who it was. I LOVE this song. Reminds me of an 80s pop rhythm with a 90s indie sound.

The lyrics are wonderfully disjointed, I do wonder how Florence manages to remember them all without jumbling them up, especially when first performing them. Elevated spoken word. This stuff really is magikal :)

i feel like the lyrics are just fragments of conversations, also it could not get more modern-british than the discussion over oven chips

The line in the song is just so decidedly and uniquely English, which I think is perhaps the key strength of the lyrics. Not only are they consistently interesting, amusing or insightful, but they are all of those things in a way that is often completely unique to their origin. In a world that is so interconnected I find it fascinating to have a band who are so consistently and specifically from a certain time and place.

What a band and what a vocalist. There's something magical in the way that they chose Florence Shaw to join them. They saw something in her. She was an artist and lecturer but they saw her as someone who was gifted enough to be the vocalist for the band. Whether she sang or spoke. They were right. What makes Dry Cleaning such an amazing band is you have this great music from the lads combined with the unique and wonderful lyrics of Florence Shaw.
