Dry Cleaning

After Mike Skinner’s EMPTY CANS yesterday, I was thinking of certain British accents I really dig in music — like Billy Bragg, The Beatles, Robert Smith — off the top of my head, it’s a pretty long list. But then I thought of Florence Shaw who brought her beautiful speaking voice to DRY CLEANING. I have to laugh, because it reminds me a bit of Peter Cook singing BEDAZZLED as Drimble Wedge & The Vegetations 😂. The thing about Dry Cleaning though, is they are just a great sounding band — the guitar and bass riffs in this one are incredible. And their debut record NEW LONG LEG was a 2021 favorite of mine.
