The phrases from ads suggest our bodies are naturally disgusting, that we ought to work harder, and that our relationships might fail. Goodnight is partly about feeling fed up with these ideas, and partly about feeling uplifted by openness on the internet.\u201d<\/em><br><br>The band (Lewis Maynard, Tom Dowse, Florence Shaw &amp; Nick Buxton) only started making music after a\u00a0party in 2017 inspired a collaboration. They wrote instrumentally to begin with and six months later Shaw, a university lecturer and picture researcher by day, joined on vocals with no prior musical experience. They recorded the six-track &#8216;Sweet Princess&#8217; EP before playing their first show only last year.<br><br>Dry Cleaning\u2019s music is simple &#8211; direct and uncomplicated. The Feelies, the Necessaries, the B52s and Pylon all served as inspirations when the band first came together. The small and intimate garage \/ rehearsal space had a huge influence on the sound; anything unnecessary was to be left behind. A discussion among the four band members about how to make the prospect of performing as comfortable as possible for Florence (a first timer) ahead of the band\u2019s first rehearsal as a four piece, led to her using her speaking voice. There were several references for this; Will Powers, The Anaemic Boyfriends and Grace Jones, among others.\u00a0<br><br>The band will play the following dates\u00a0in support of the EP:<br><br>08.08 &#8211; Prince Albert, Brighton<br>09.08 &#8211; Brudenell Social Club, Leeds<br>10.08 &#8211; O2 Academy, Leicester *<br>16.08 &#8211; Green Man Festival, Breacon Beacons<br>21.08 &#8211; Shacklewell Arms, London<br>22.08 &#8211; Hare &amp; Hounds, Birmingham<br>23.08 &#8211; YES (Basement), Manchester<br>24.08 &#8211; Future Yard Festival, Birkinhead<br>19.10 &#8211; Simple Things Festival, Bristol<br>20.10 &#8211; SWN Festival, Cardiff<br><br><em>* with Bodega<\/em><strong><br><br><\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-mhykrjy-ejlihlkhu-h\/\" target=\"_blank\">Buy tickets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i2.cmail20.com\/ei\/j\/C3\/091\/951\/200216\/csfinal\/Sweet-Princess-EP-cover-990000079e04513c.jpg\" alt=\"Dry Cleaning Sweet Princess EP cover art\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8216;Sweet Princess&#8217; EP track listing<\/strong><br>1.\u00a0Goodnight<br>2.
