Dry Cleaning – Secret Love (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Florence Shaw's deadpan spoken-word delivery has always been the band's most disorienting weapon, but Secret Love finds Dry Cleaning's rhythm section and guitars building something more architecturally ambitious around her. The south London group emerged from a tight-knit art scene friendship circle, and that trust shows in how far they're willing to push the spaces between the notes.
Secret Love is the finest expression yet of the profound friendships that created Dry Cleaning. Here, the south London four-piece take their place in rock's avant garde, catalysing the Reaganite paranoia of early 80s US punk and hardcore with the dry strut of Keith Richards, stoner rock, dystopian degradation, playful no wave and pastoral fingerpicking, while Florence's delivery, meticulously calibrated to her bandmates' soundscapes, asserts her in a lineage of spoken-word artists stretching from Laurie Anderson to Life Without Buildings' Sue Tompkins.
