In case you missed it, Dry Cleaning just released their single 'Cruise Ship Designer,' bringing the forthcoming new record Secret Love to the Portland area this winter for a huge show at Wonder Ballroom on Sunday February 22nd with special guest opener YHWH Nailgun.
Tickets are on sale now at wonderballroom.com.
Secret Love is the finest expression yet of the profound friendships between frontperson Florence Shaw, guitarist Tom Dowse, drummer Nick Buxton and bassist Lewis Maynard. 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.
