    Sarcastic,conversational and funny. The debut burst forward so casually you barely get the opportunity to realize what exactly you just witnessed. Wearing their guitar rock influences on their sleeves they almost channel sonic youth at its heights. But midway it begins to feel tiresome and despite the satisfying guitar work its far from something I'd revisit. Favourites:scratchcardSarcastic,conversational and funny.

    Dry Cleaning gave us a taste in 2019; New Long Leg is a banquet upon which to feast.

    Dry Cleaning seem a working-class band, but they are not a political band in that same sense. This concept is mimicked across many post-punk bands past and present, but instead of trying to stay firmly between those politically-charged guardrails they have stepped outside of them and created their own scenic route.

    Ultimately, there’s a charming purity that runs through ‘New Long Leg’, and a sense that Dry Cleaning wasn’t the product of a masterplan. Instead it’s the by-product of the lives they were already leading which gives an uncompromising human quality to this debut.
