[@RatsLiveOnNoEvilStar213]

I love the juxtaposition of how bad ass the band is playing to the very ease of her subtle voice and stature

[@patrickjmt]

If this was my crew, I'd feel pretty happy about life.

[@Brutusque]

lol indeed. If only there were a lot more folks like us heheh

[@MoDebris60]

Those detached vocals over the raging riff, Love the contrast.

[@arefriendsaseptic]

you nailed it. that's what makes it work. the repressed anger the vocals give makes it even more insane.

[@pazwretzky4673]

there's something really special happening here...I feel with many bands, musicians will create music as a canvas for a lyricist to paint on, but with this band the lyricist is the canvas, and the musicians aren't painting on her, they're painting around her...truly cool

[@rustinkylefampulme8998]

This phrasing is really spot on

[@rohanm8526]

@Kirk Wolfe I respectfully disagree. Travel will be back. Besides, I don't think many bands were writing about touring/drinking/trashing, were they? Doing it, maybe, but not writing about it? Plus wasn't it really only the extravagant bands of the '70s actually doing that, ie not "indie" bands? And I don't agree that there is anything different going on with this song. I'm not saying it's not good, but I don't think this particularly unique. All the best for your music and your new album!

[@theorem7047]

This is so apt

[@robinavalyn9513]

Completely agree! It's that spoken word combo with wall of sound that surrounds but does not interfere. This group is quite something.

[@jaysengarris2602]

I thought exactly the same upon first hearing them. Space Age Love ❤️

[@zbridgjpxupzm]

It's like each member is from a different genre/band but magically they all click together!

[@christopherjackson8958]

Definitely a doom metal influence with the guitar breakdowns

[@SuperBostonCeltics9]

@@christopherjackson8958 the delay-heavy intro sounds just like something from an Osees album to me too

Exactly!! They appear on the surface to be completely mismatched, but it definitely works.

It's like i'm listening to sonic youth and joy division ! This band is very unique and there's is something special going on with this band.

[@sivader17]

Defo joy division

[@SigmaWarrior1978]

Definitely. Something special is cooking here. The guitar work is sublime.

[@craiglindsay3938]

Something like ‘Gang of 4’ I thought

[@ltrecker]

Can confirm - go see them live - it's not so much a concert but a whole vibe.

[@PL-uc6um]

How can it be unique if it is just like something else ???

The outfits 🔥❤️

[@kontraplake]

the teeny carpet

[@andrewstarling6936]

Need to turn the carpet sample 90° so that the singer's heels aren't over the edge. :)

[@andrewstarling6936]

The guitarist makes a pink/beige chunky cardigan look super cool.

[@baaloulbaaloul1139]

truth !

[@lurkster1974]

@@andrewstarling6936 Haha, no OCD then I take it ;-) Bear in mind she would then be at risk of having more shoe hanging over each side, unless of course she stood on one leg like a flamingo (thereby requiring her to borrow his pink cardie mid set...)

[@iknowgoodmusic6847]

What a smash! The dude in pink cardigan seemed to be possessed by the spirit of good music towards the end. I’ll watch this over and over again

[@ToddGoldfinger]

The most important Band in Rock today since the Talking Heads, i'm stoned 420 peace on earth buddys

[@herzeliedstein573]

What a sick riff

[@Postpunk-cx1ph]

My Dad had a carpet and beds shop in the 80s, I’m loving the setting! Nostalgia!

[@therillsband]

The best band in the world right now!!!

[@realramone3455]

Not quite

[@FARID1870]

wow, as a Gen X-er, I'd never imagine myself drooling over a contermporary band like this. Amazing groove over wan, detached vocals!

[@NickSBailey]

It's rare for me to play a song twice in a row but I did this, there's loads and loads of brilliant music out there for a gen Xs taste like ours though, it just takes having a good mooch through the right places.

[@tonywells9908]

Ditto to the comment - and I'm a BOOMER!

I have never put a comment on a KZbin video before however, this band is going to the next level - keep it going.

[@TheDyingPlant]

Saw them live this week and they were so so so good. The guitarist is amazing. The energy and riffs really hit different live (and he may be the coolest person i've ever seen). Florence killed it too

[@literaticrux8292]

There was a moment in the last week or so where Dry Cleaning was the only band I could listen to. That is still the case.

[@philipbarrett9688]

How's it going mate?

[@HerrXabu]

pure love here

[@orenbarnea2841]

Ooooh that pink cardigan 😍

[@apathyintheuk265]

That was a cardigan? I assumed he'd draped himself in some Axminster remnant.

[@skrotorr3223]

That bassline...yes.

[@balkandisko]

This track is fabulous - certainly my favourite so far from the new album. Love the psych-rock backing track - really evocative of the VU and early Stooges.

[@Andrew.Stuart]

That guitar tone, love it, intense... Yes

[@coreyevans7971]

Just saw them in San Francisco last night. I believe them.

[@JayTyrus]

This is exactly what comes to mind if Kim Gordon had teamed up with either Daniel Ash or the late John McGeoch. Or maybe what Velvet Underground/Nico would have sounded like if they were still active in the early 1980s. Cbus OH, CD 92.9's "Independent Playground" led me here.

[@t3l3phasicworksh0p]

I came here looking for somewhere to wash my mohair pink cardigan. The staff were a bit deadpan and noisy but luckily they had an extremely good value carpet offcut which i bought. Thanks

[@akiray1999]

don’t cry, just drive

[@opal817]

The noise insulation in there must be amazing.

[@norekfamily]

I know! When this pandemic is over, I'm gonna start having my band rehearse in a carpet store...

[@midlander4]

They originally wanted to shoot in an egg box factory

My goodness. Brilliant.

This is the band we needed🙌

[@andy_sometimes]

And to think I almost dismissed them a few years ago, Dry Cleaning, what sort of band name is that? Ha! How wrong could I be. So wrong! Just love them.

[@skippydebushkangarugus]

I did that to the first Beck album then suffered a reverse by Odelay!

[@joseortiz9629]

Almost as bad a name as Real Estate.

[@user-xe6kp8uc6h]

I did that with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Big mistake on my part 😂

[@06kickflip]

Never make assumptions

[@bliss918]

i have a feeling it’s inspired by sonic youth “washing machine”

[@achmutt10]

Best band on earth. Cant wait for Malmö!

[@Chrisander90]

Their npr concert brought me here. At first I was surprised by the unique sound of their music but after listening to it some more, it’s captivating.

[@franzlleng9729]

Great band, like a letter from an old friend.

[@elblueblazer]

So this is what my literature teacher is up to in her spare time.

[@SkirkCommander]

I really like the style of the music and how it’s like a energetic rad musical explosion, but the tone of lyrics and that kind of droning at your side being an unwavering voice in middle of the chaos that keeps you grounded. I’ve listened to like 6 songs and I want more.

[@sirfizz6518]

these lyrics are so raw tho! cuz the first 10+ times I heard this tune it was when KZbin autoplayed it in mixes based on stuff like Sonic Youth, when I put it on in the background while cleaning etc... the sound really struck me and I thought "I can see why there's some hype around this band, they've got something pretty fresh going..." but when I finally actually listened to it, it was one of those things where the lyrics suddenly hit you. some pretty heavy shit, worded cleverly, and kind of subversively but simply, if you actually listen. the sonic texture the band is creating fits the words perfectly... kinda like Yard Act... cool shit

[@dontony600]

I listened them this weekend at Interpol concert in Mexico city. Great show.

[@maurodegiorgi63]

I've been waiting for a band like this since the Linoleum. Brilliant guys !

I have been caning this album. There’s something important happening here. Its like awkwardly chewing on an 80s post-punk sandwich with a dirty grungey sonic youth tasting filling, and an Arab strap type aftertaste, pixies and the breeders hidden in there somewhere , and ya can’t stop biting at it cos it’s so fucking satisfying. I am sold.
