Oct 20, 2022Mesmerising as the words and delivery are, the album is also musically excellent.
-
Oct 17, 2022If the music and lyrics are both impressive, though, it's the interaction between them that makes Stumpwork such a triumph. They work together and against each other, pushing and pulling, fighting arrhythmically or slipping into step as the moment demands. [Nov 2022, p.38]
-
Oct 24, 2022Stumpwork is an essential album, and one of the very best of 2022.
-
Oct 18, 2022Each instrument is put to use across multiple genres, experimenting with a collection of new sounds. The result is a moment of exciting expansion.
-
Oct 21, 2022Stumpwork is bright and more exploratory than what came before, the result of a band pushing the boundaries of its sound farther than just about any of their peers without losing track of their trademark lockstep groove.
-
Oct 20, 2022It’s unlikely to win over the naysayers, but, for those already enamoured with their kitchen sink Dadaism, ‘Stumpwork’ is yet more magic from Dry Cleaning.
-
Oct 21, 2022Ultimately, Dry Cleaning start to sound like a one-song idea dragged out over two albums. A slog.

Oct 21, 2022So good. If you liked New Long Leg you’ll like this. Expands upon their sound musically, but keeps what makes them great.
