Dry Cleaning
– New Long Leg
Dry Cleaning’s New Long Leg, is a masterful post-punk album that thrives on its wit, tension, and intricate soundscapes. The band crafts an atmosphere that feels simultaneously raw and surreal, with jagged guitars, driving basslines, and restrained yet propulsive rhythms serving as the backdrop for Florence Shaw’s deadpan, spoken-word delivery.
