Dry Cleaning revisits their early days with a remastered reissue of their first two EPs (“Sweet Princess” and “Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks”) on one record, featuring original artwork and lyrics. Formed in 2017 by longtime friends Tom Dowse (guitar), Nick Buxton (drums), and Lewis Maynard (bass), they invited visual artist Florence Shaw (vocals). Influenced by bands like The Feelies and Pylon, their small rehearsal space led to simple, direct music. “Sweet Princess” (recorded in a day with Kristian Craig Robinson, released Aug 2018) offered restless instrumentals and Shaw’s sardonic, observational vocals. “Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks” followed two months later, named after their rehearsal space at Maynard’s home (and his mother Susan’s meals). Tracks like “Sit Down Meal” and “Viking Hair” showcase a shared raw energy from their formative environment. Tracklist: A1. Dog Proposal A2. Viking Hair A3. Spoils A4. Jam After School A5. Sombre One A6. Sit Down Meal B1. Goodnight B2. New Job B3. Magic of Meghan B4. Traditional Fish B5. Phone Scam B6. Conversation
